The British Museum Catalogues of Coins was a series envisioned and initiated by
Reginald Stuart Poole, Keeper of the Department of Coins and Medals, at the
British Museum, between 1870 and 1893. The aim was to produce a scholarly series of catalogues of the collection, based on the British Museum's collection and other collections. The series continued after his retirement, and continues to this day, with the collection increasingly being made available online.[1]
