Books on Medals & Tokens

Card covers, 64 pages, well illustrated throughout with 130 photographs.

Now in its 7th edition and bigger than ever at over 800 pages, this book has been aptly named ‘The Bible of British Campaign Medals’. It is packed with information on the medals with historical background to the campaigns for which they were awarded, high-quality photographs of the medals and clasps and a full colour ribbon chart. It is a must for anyone interested in the subject and, as usual, a bargain when you buy from Coincraft. The normal retail price is £85.00 – SPECIAL HALF-PRICE DEAL FOR COINCRAFT CUSTOMERS £42.50.

Some three and a half centuries ago, Britain was convulsed by a series of civil wars. The names of its participants and major battles "Oliver Cromwell and Charles I, Cavaliers and Roundheads, Edgehill and Dunbar" are still well known today. These wars (1642-1651) saw the introduction of medals as rewards for gallantry and campaign service. This book places these medals within the historical context of the times. The wars also introduced the use of firearms en masse with a tactic called ‘Pike and Shot’ to English soil. We've placed both of these 17th Century British 'innovations' on a single deal and we are now giving you the chance to own the two, for the old fashion price of only £73.45 including UK postage & handling charge!
