I am not a numismatic myself. If you don’t know what that word means, you’re probably not one either. It doesn’t refer to some sort of respiratory disorder, nor to an obscure sexual perversion — it’s actually the term for someone who collects coins. Collects them in a deliberate, hobbyish sort of way, I mean, and doesn’t just continually accumulate annoying piles of coppers at the bottom of their purse.
Anyway. If coins are your thing, the Edinburgh Coin Shop is an obvious destination for you. It’s a decidedly old-​fashioned shop, with its peeling painted sign, gloomy interior and grime-​encrusted windows, but inside is a wealth of small monies, and I get the impression that the people who run it know their stuff, and will be probably be able to answer any coin-​related enquiries that you care to throw at them.

If you collect coins, medals, postcards, stamps, cigarette cards, gold, silver or jewellery, you should get to know Hiram.
If you’re into glass, ceramics, clocks or watches, you should seek out Hiram.
You will benefit from his knowledge and advice, you will profit from any transactions.
His stock of coins is unsurpassed in Scotland. His expert knowledge of a wide field of antiques and collectables is legend.
He’s friendly, helpful and he goes the extra mile.

Hidden down a small and little-​used laneway is the Edinburgh Coin Shop. So small you’ll miss it if you blink, so non-​descript you might not know you’ve found it even while standing directly outside, it has a potent mixture of old-​world charm and a greasy, under-​hand, second-​hand purveyor of anything, no questions asked. But this shop holds marvels of history, ancient coins medallions dating back to the Greeks, Romans and beyond. For a handful of change or a note or two, you can own a hand pressed silver Tetrobol from Histaea on the isle of Euboea from the 3^rd century BC. Nothing brings human history into such sharp relief as exchanging coins of current mintage for those of long lost civilisations. Even if you do not intend to shop, the Coin Shop is definitely worth a look.
