About this index
Each link above filters our coin browser by the reign window of that monarch using the year_from and year_to filters. Counts use the coin's year of issue (start year), so a coin first struck in 1837 sits with Victoria even though William IV designs were still being struck that year. For a deep dive on the Charles III definitives, see our Charles III coin guide. For Victorian and earlier sovereigns, see the gold sovereign values guide.
