It is stressed that the following prices are a guide only, and in UK pounds. I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly.

The information has generally been taken from the UK monthly magazine Coin News, and is reproduced by the kind permission of

Coins of lower condition than BU have not been listed. Prices of coins dated 2006 are as available from the Royal Mint, but St.George reverse 2 and 5 pound coins are only available in sets.

Please note that gold coin values are very dependent on gold bullion prices.
