Police have released images of antique coins worth £20,000 that were stolen from a museum.

Officers investigating the incident, which took place at the National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, on September 2 recently issued CCTV footage of two men they wish to speak to in connection with their inquiries.

Now, photographs of the coins are being shared to establish if members of the public have come across these items, or if anyone has attempted to sell them on.

Anyone who can assist officers with their investigation is asked to come forward.

The estimated combined value of the stolen coins is around £20,000.

“We have now issued images of the coins in the hope someone will recognise them and come forward to tell us where they can be found.
