Bexhill Rotary Club Coin Collector

A modest collection tucked away in Bexhill-on-Sea that appeals to a very specific crowd: coin enthusiasts and numismatic historians. Run by the local Rotary Club, this gallery displays rare and historical coins from various periods and regions - the sort of place where you'll spend anything from twenty minutes to an hour depending on how deep your interest runs.

It's not going to set pulses racing if you're after flashy museum exhibits with interactive displays. But if you're genuinely curious about currency, metalwork, and how different societies minted their money, there's real substance here. The collection tells stories - trade routes, political power, artistic craftsmanship - through small metal discs that most people walk past without a second glance.

Families with older children who've caught the collecting bug will find it worthwhile. Younger kids will likely tire quickly. Admission details and opening hours aren't widely publicised, so ring ahead before making the trip from your holiday park - Park Holidays UK sits barely a mile away, making this an easy rainy-afternoon detour.

Truth is, Bexhill itself offers plenty: the seafront, De La Warr Pavilion, decent fish and chips. This collection works as a supplement rather than a headline attraction. But for collectors, Rotary Club members, or anyone with a genuine interest in numismatics, it's worth tracking down.
