Standard Catalogue of British Coins

Seaby Ltd. as a brochure under the title Catalogue of Coins of Great Britain and Ireland, then biennially until the outbreak of war in 1939.

Edited by Peter Seaby, the Standard Catalogue of British Coins was published from 1962 onwards in two parts, I. England and United Kingdom and II.

After a one-year break, Volume I (16th edition) was published from 1978 and Volume II in 1979 in an enlarged format, edited by Peter Seaby and P. Frank Purvey, until the company Spink & Son took over the entire publishing division of B.A.

With the 42nd edition, it was converted to colour printing in 2007, and every coin in the catalogue was re-photographed for this purpose.

It remains the only catalogue to feature every major coin type from Celtic to the Decimal coinage of Queen Elizabeth II, arranged in chronological order and divided into metals under each reign, then into coinages, denominations and varieties (57th edition, 2022).
