coins

Values, images, and specifications for coins from Wales.

For centuries after the

end of Roman occupation

Wales was a region

dominated by tribal leaders,

regularly at war with each

other, and with England.

Around 1283 the region of Wales was conquered by

the English, and from this point forward is ruled as a

conquered territory until formally integrated in to the

Kingdom of England in 1536.

England and Scotland formed the

Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, then in

1801 Ireland was brought in to the union,

which became the United Kingdom of

Great Britain and Ireland.

Much of Ireland separated from the

United Kingdom in 1922, the remaining

union being renamed the United Kingdom

of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
