British Numismatic Society

In 1991, the Society established a Special Publication series to publish monographs on numismatic topics. This was funded by a generous bequest from Roy Osbourne. The purpose of the series is to support the publication of monographs for works too extensive for the British Numismatic Journal.

The Society welcomes applications for publication for the Special Publication series. If you are interested in publishing within the series then please contact the Society's  in the first instance.

To date the Society has published the volumes listed below. These can be purchased from Script Publisher Services – P&P is extra. BNS members are entitled to a discount if the prices have not already been discounted – please submit the BNS discount voucher code (which is being distributed to members via the monthly E-News newsletter) at the checkout to apply your member’s discount. The Society is gradually making out-of-print volumes available online. Links are included in the list below.
