Sophie Welch
United Kingdom

Office Assistant and World Coin Cataloguer

View Biography

Since 2015, Sophie has been an avid numismatist. Starting off by casually collecting commemorative 50ps and £2 coins quickly evolved into establishing a collection featuring hundreds of coins from a variety of countries and periods of time.

After being unable to sit exams due to the Covid-19 pandemic, she pursued higher education by completing the American Numismatic Association's Diploma Program, achieving Honours and High Honours in most of her exams.

Undertaking a jewelry-making & designing course for the following year allowed her to pursue her creative side whilst also expanding her knowledge of precious metals and hallmarks. Her skills in computer-aided design meant that her design for a commemorative staff pin was chosen to be made in silver, and one gold-plated pin was presented by Sophie directly to King Charles III when they met during his visit to The Goldsmiths' Centre in November 2022.

Looking to expand her knowledge in numismatics wherever she can, Sophie was the first international student to attend Witter Coin University in San Francisco - a week-long coin course dedicated to help educate young numismatists and taught by some of the top people in the industry.
