Kingston Numismatic Society

The Kingston Numismatic Society was founded in 1966, and is a Member of the British Association of Numismatic Societies. Also, The Kingston Numismatic Society is affiliated to the Kingston upon Thames Youth and Community Service

Annual membership fee (September thru August) is currently £10 (£12 for two people at the same address, £5 for under 18), though these figures are halved if joining after February.

We are the FRIENDLY Club for Coin Collectors of ALL AGES and Numismatic interests

Our monthly meetings start at 7.30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month (except December and January) at
KING ATHELSTAN SCHOOL
VILLIERS ROAD
KINGSTON-UPON-THAMES
SURREY, ENGLAND

The December meeting is held as above but on the second Thursday (so as not to conflict with Christmas preparations).
In January there is no formal meeting, but an informal gathering is usually held at the house of one of the members.

VISITORS ARE MOST WELCOME! WHY NOT COME AND JOIN US?

For further details about our Society, please send an e-mail (by clicking below), which will be passed on for attention of our Secretary (Norman Clarkson) or Treasurer (Robert Goff).

By the way, the logo shown is reproduced from the Society's tie: The background of royal blue is for the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. Three interlocking rings represent coins, one in each of the three traditional coinage metals - gold, silver and copper. In each ring appears one of the Society's initials K N S, all in gold, which at least in recent times generally takes precedence over the other two metals. Alongside are three diagonal lines, one in each metal, representing the strips from which the planchets, blanks or flans are punched out.
