South Wales & Monmouthshire Numismatic Society

 

Catchment area:
The Society is the only one in South Wales and draws its membership from Swansea, Bridgend, Cardiff, Newport and the South Wales valleys.

The Society was formed in 1958 for the furtherance of the study of all kinds of coins, medals, awards, tokens and subjects connected therewith.

The society enjoys an annual programme which consists of lectures, quarterly auctions, an inter-society quiz with our near neighbours Bath and Bristol Numismatic Society for the Anthony Halse Shield, an open meeting for the public valuation and identification of coins, tokens, medals and bank notes, a summer barbecue, and a Christmas dinner.

Member’s interests range from Roman coins and history which reflects the strong Roman influence at nearby Caerleon and Caerwent, hammered coinage, patterns and proofs, medals, bank notes, and Welsh tokens and paranumismatica.

Officers:
President: Roland Mumford, Chairman: Anthony Halse, Secretary: Alan Cox, Treasurer: Noel Cox
