A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd

Founded in 1872, A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd set up their in-house auction department in 1993 and have since expanded to hold more than eighteen auctions of all numismatic material in London, New York and Hong Kong each year.

The merger of Baldwins with Noble Investments (UK) PLC in 2005 and the subsequent acquisitions in early 2008 of Apex Philatelics, and in 2012 of The Fine Art Auction Group (comprising Dreweatts and Bloomsbury Auctions), has seen the company expand to become a formidable player at the forefront of the collectibles market.

Baldwins comprise a world-class team of specialists and consultants who between them cover virtually all aspects of English, Ancient and Foreign coins, Commemorative Medals, Tokens and World Stamps. A. H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd is one of the largest numismatic houses in Europe and the only numismatic trading company listed on the London Stock Exchange.

The Baldwins specialist team have worked as advisors and cataloguers of coins for some of the most prestigious auction houses in London and abroad for decades. Our extensive library, comprising thousands of reference books, allows us to research thoroughly all aspects of numismatics from Ancient times to the present day, with the main focus including English, European, Russian, Islamic, Indian, the Americas and Oriental coins, as well as commemorative medals, for auction and direct sale.

Baldwins had a part in the establishment of the first Singapore Coin Auction in 1986, and consigned frequently over the years. We therefore were well placed to take over from Spinks when they withdrew from the original partnership in 1993. The Hong Kong Coin Auctions are numbered from this series.

Ma Tak Wo Numismatic Co Ltd

Ma Tak Wo has been a major player in the Asian numismatic scene for more than three decades, first as an avid collector of Chinese (including Hong Kong and Macau) coins and paper money and then as one of the principals of the Taisei group of companies which organized the highly successful Hong Kong and Singapore coin shows and auctions. In 1999, he set up the company bearing his name to take over the Hong Kong and Singapore Coin Auctions as well as dealing in rare coins and banknotes of the world and publishing numismatic books. As a principal cataloguer and auctioneer of the two auctions, an enormous number of Asian numismatic rarities have changed hands under his hammer. The company also runs the biannual Hongkong International Coin Convention & Antique Watch Fair, in which Baldwins has an interest. During his busy career, Ma has managed to find time to publish numerous articles in numismatic journals and author or edit the following numismatic titles which have become standard references in their respective fields:

Currency of Macau (1987) Struck Copper Coins of Sinkiang (1988) Illustrated Catalogue of Sinkiang Gold & Silver Coins (1988) Illustrated Catalogue of Chinese Gold & Silver Coins, 1st to 6th Edition
