Kings & Queens
of The British Isles 

Monarchs of England 

I hope this guide is useful, especially if you are planning a new collection. You may find the further back you go, obtaining  the coins you require in High grades will become increasingly difficult and expensive. Depending on your chosen Monarch completing date runs could be near impossible.

Good luck!
