Gold coins have been used as currency and a symbol of wealth for thousands of years. There are countless beautiful examples in museums and private collections around the world, including a selection from historical time periods. Buying rare coins can be difficult, particularly if you want ones from a specific era. You need to be very careful authenticating them and must make sure they are completely traceable. Purchasing from a reliable seller is also very important.

We strive to give collectors a great selection to choose from and proudly offer two amazing Byzantine Era coins that were minted during the reign of Emperor Phocas (602 – 610 AD). We have both the 10th Officina and 5th Officina coins minted in Constantinople, the capital city of the Byzantium Empire. These coins have existed for over 1,400 years and would be a beautiful addition to any collection.

Both Byzantine coins are made from the finest 999.00 gold so they need to be handled with care to avoid damaging them. The age of the coins means they can show slight imperfections but we have carefully examined them to ensure they hold their value. All display boxes and capsules have also been checked to make sure they are in a presentable condition.

These rare coins have travelled widely over the years before being bought at auction in the UK. A small selection of them has been sold to us and we couldn’t be more honoured trying to find them a new home. If you’re looking to buy gold coins to add to your collection you can purchase either, or both, of the Byzantine ones direct from us. We provide free, secure, fully insured delivery on them so you can buy with confidence. We also provide a certificate of authentication so you know they are genuine.

You can view images of either coin on our website, read more about them and make a purchase if you decide to. We also have other limited edition coins available so please take the time to have a look and see if any of these appeals to you. When you want to buy gold coins or any other type of bullion, we are sure to have the right items to offer you, no matter what your budget or requirements may be.
