Auction: Coins & Banknotes, 22nd Nov, 2023
The forthcoming November coin auction will have a range of lots to appeal to all buyers with a strong focus on gold and silver bullion coinage. There are several excellent Royal Mint gold sets, sovereigns, silver proof coins and foreign gold and silver coins.
Collectors of more modern and proof coinage will not be disappointed with numerous commemorative sets, proof sets and collectable decimal coinage including more than a few chances to bid on the sought-after ‘Kew Gardens’ 50p and a large selection of collectable silver proof crowns.
There are some nice older and ancient examples, with a nice Celtic gold stater being of note.
This auction features a robust banknote section, with examples of Bradbury and Fisher issue treasury notes, a large album of Scottish Banknotes, and a very interesting lot featuring an assortment of rare Hudson’s Bay Company promissory notes.
