What is the law on reproduction coins?

[Guest Pernar]

Dear all,

I have a professional interest in learning how the British law is handling the reproduction of rare coins and medals. Can someone please comment or point me to the relevant legislation.

e.g. The US requires a COPY on the coin in specific measurements and does not restrict the type of coins. In Germany the coin has to be incused with a visible sign (either COPY or year of reproduction) for non Euro coins only and for coins after 1850.

How is it in the UK? Other countries laws would be interesting as well.

Thanks,

Stefan

From all the garbage for sale on eBay, rather loosely in my humble opin.

There are princess of wales notes, fakes of Churchill 9/- notes etc. Lots and lots and lots of junque.
