Discover, catalogue, and grow your collection of British Empire coinage — from 1700 onwards.

Colonial Coinage brings together hundreds of years of numismatic history in one perfectly crafted app designed for modern collectors. Whether you’re drawn to British India, the West African colonies, or the early Canadian issues, this is your companion for exploring, identifying, and organising coins across the Empire’s reach.

A collector’s workspace

Record every coin you own — with photos, grades, and notes — and track your progress as your collection grows. Your entries are safely stored and synchronised, so your catalogue travels with you wherever you go.

View your holdings by territory, denomination, or period. Sort by rarity, year, or condition to see where the strengths of your collection lie, and where there are still gaps to fill.

Rich catalogue detail

Every coin type in Colonial Coinage includes:

Obverse and reverse descriptions

Historical notes and mint specifications

Rarity tiers from common to ultra rare

Year range and composition details

Each entry is carefully structured to make identification straightforward, even for intricate varieties and mint marks.

Personalised insights

Your coins contribute to unique collection metrics:

Prestige Grade — an index of how impressive your collection is, weighted by rarity and condition

Territory Star Rating — the average grade of your best examples within each region

Completion Stats — see exactly how close you are to completing a territory set

Tap any score for a clear explanation of how it’s calculated.

The Meridian Assistant

Let Meridian, your built-in assistant, suggest what to collect next.
Choose a strategy — Prestige, Gaps, More Territories, Easy Wins, Missing Years, or Surprise Me — and Meridian will highlight coins that fit your goals, your current collection, and your budget. Each suggestion is grounded in data, not marketing, giving you calm, collector-to-collector guidance.
