The Carrington Collection, a History of Royal Coins with Gregory Edmund

Coins are a physical tangible link to the past, history in metal that we can carry in our very hand. Coinage is central to the history of Great Britain, made more fascinating still because of our long and rich monarchical history. In todays episode, the 100th episode, I am pleased to talk to Gregory Edmund from Spink auctioneers. An expert in coinage, Gregory joins me to discuss something known collectively as the Carrington collection, a remarkable 130 piece collection of coins starting way back with King Henry III, through the hundreds years war, the wars of the roses and ending with Queen Elizabeth I herself.
