As doubts continue about the durability of “fiat” money economies, Stanley Gibbons, the firm famed in the stamp collecting business, has rolled out a rare coin index showing prices having risen 248 per cent since 2002, an compound annual growth rate of 13.3 per cent.

The Rare Coin Index, giving a representative sample of 200 rare British coins, taken from the standard catalogue of UK coins, is designed to capture growth in pieces ranging £225,000 to £5,000. To give one of the strongest examples, a 1247-1272 Henry III gold penny with sceptre mark fetched a price of £225,000 this year, a jump of 309.1 per cent over 10 years.

The best performer in the index- a 1663 Charles II gold guinea – shows a CAGR of 27.8 per cent, Stanley Gibbons said.
