Coins & Banknotes

Coins & Banknotes

Coins and banknotes expend a wealth of information about the period in which they were minted and the notable figures of the time. Signifiers of time, place and society, we imagine the bartering and bargaining these coins facilitated.

From well-thumbed crowns and spade guineas to pristine proof sovereigns and glistening krugerrands, McTear’s Coins & Banknotes auction is the place to be. We are Scotland’s only auction house to hold regular dedicated auctions of coins, held every 6 weeks.

Get in touch today for a complimentary valuation or to discuss any aspect of the auction.
