Welcome to the Galata Website.

The Galata office will be closed from 5 May to 30 May 2012. You may continue to place orders during this period, they will be automatically acknowledged.
Orders will be despatched as quickly as possible when we re-open. Overseas orders requiring calculation of postage costs, and any other enquiries, will also be answered then.

Here you will find our extensive stock of new and secondhand numismatic books for sale. Many of them are one off, out of print items. 

People sometimes get puzzled.  How do you know if a book is new or used ?
Simple.  If it doesn't say 'new', it isn't. 

What is it like if it doesn't say anything about the quality ?
If nothing is mentioned, it is good, clean secondhand quality, nothing missing, nothing falling off.  You can also look at the picture.  We photograph all of our books and give accurate descriptions of the books for sale if there are blemishes - or good features.  The image is of the actual book being sold - unless we have more than one in stock, in which case we describe and illustrate the least good example, so you may get one that is better than described.

We too are collectors. We are members of the Royal Numismatic Society, British Numismatic Society, Oriental Numismatic Society and the British Art Medal Society. We understand the needs of the collector.

Galata Print Ltd. also publishes Numismatic Books. We are the authors of many publications on coins and tokens. 
In 2000 we were awarded a bronze medal by the AIPN for our book on 19th-century copper tokens.  The Galata Guide to the Pennies of Edward I & II was awarded the Royal Numismatic Society's Lhotka Memorial Prize in 2006, and in 2010 the British Numismatic Society awarded us the J J North Medal for our services to numismatic publishing.
