£50,000 Reward Offered for Recovery of Rare Scottish Coins Stolen in 2007

The coins, spanning the reigns of David I to Alexander III, represent a vital chapter in Scotland's numismatic history and remain missing 17 years after their theft.

Over 1,000 rare medieval Scottish coins, stolen from Lord and Lady Stewartby's home in 2007, remain missing after 17 years.
The collection, dating from 1136 to 1280, includes some of the earliest examples of independent Scottish coinage and is considered of significant national importance.
A £50,000 reward, funded by Crimestoppers and an anonymous donor, is being offered for information leading to the recovery of the coins and the conviction of those responsible.
Lord Stewartby, who passed away in 2018, spent over 70 years assembling the collection, which he described as a representation of Scotland's history and heritage.
The Hunterian Museum at the University of Glasgow, which houses the remainder of the Stewartby collection, has called for the coins' return to benefit future scholars and preserve Scottish history.
