NumiCrown catalogues British Empire and Commonwealth banknotes down to the individual variety, free for everyone. Pro adds the records behind them: the sales, the serial numbers, the owners and the sources.
From $10.00 for 1 month, or $79.00 for a year (about $6.58 a month). One payment, and nothing renews on its own.
Opening soon. Pro can be bought once the catalogue launches. The plans and prices below are the ones that will apply.

One payment for the whole period. Nothing renews on its own, and a plan bought while another is running adds to the end date. Prices are in US dollars and include VAT where it applies; in a few places outside the UK and EU a local sales tax is added at checkout, and shown before you pay. A full refund within 14 days (Refund Policy). Pro is attached to a free NumiCrown account.
NumiCrown Pro is access to the website only. We don’t sell banknotes, run auctions or give investment advice.

Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. Your plan is attached to your NumiCrown account, so it follows you to any device you log in on.
Does it renew automatically?
No. Every plan is a single payment for a fixed period. When it runs out the Pro sections close again and nothing is charged. Buy another plan whenever you like and it adds to your end date.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Ask within 14 days of buying and you get the whole amount back, no reason needed. The Refund Policy has the details.
Who takes the payment?
Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com, the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle takes the payment, accounts for any VAT or sales tax due in your country and sends the receipt. We never see your card details. See the Terms of Use.
When can I buy Pro?
When the catalogue opens. The site is under construction while the payment system is set up.
Are the prices the real ones?
Each price is recorded as the house published it. Some houses quote the hammer price and some include the buyer’s premium. Prices are not converted between currencies, except in the price guide’s “All together” view, which marks its figures as approximate.
Where do the records come from?
Auction houses, museums, banks, journals, books and old printed sale catalogues.
Is the catalogue itself free?
Yes, and it stays that way. Every country, Pick number, variety, signature and photograph is open to everyone, with or without an account.
