As of 16th April 2024 Sovereign Rarities Ltd, London, UK, has acquired the above three publicationsfrom Spink & Son Ltd, who in turn acquired the publications in 1997 from B. A. Seaby Ltd.

B A Seaby had originally produced a more basic one volume catalogue dating from the late 1920s,expanding to Scottish and Irish later on.

The splitting of the decimal and pre-decimal denominations was a more recent innovation of the lastdecade as the modern issue era became more expansive and continues to grow under King CharlesIII.

The new release of the pre-decimal and decimal catalogues remains a highly anticipated annualevent in the worldwide numismatic calendar, as British coins are so internationally collected in themodern era.

The acquisition by Sovereign Rarities Ltd will see the next edition for 2025 produced under theirbranding for the first time and Managing Director Ian Goldbart commented:

'We are delighted to have acquired the three titles, which we intend to continue to produce in thecoming years. In one form or another, Coins of England has been issued for almost 100 years. Havingfirst acquired a copy, when I started collecting in 1976, to this day, the book remains a staple part ofmy numismatic diet.'
