Warwick William Wroth

Warwick William Wroth (1858–1911) was a British numismatist, biographer, and museum curator best known for his long work in the Department of Coins and Medals at the British Museum. He became Senior Assistant Keeper there and built a strong reputation as a specialist in ancient and medieval coinage, especially through scholarly catalogues that were widely used by students and collectors.

He was also one of the original contributors to the Dictionary of National Biography, a major Victorian reference project to which he remained connected for many years. Alongside his museum scholarship, he wrote on subjects beyond coins, including London history and pleasure gardens, showing a broader interest in the texture of everyday life in the past.

Wroth died in London in 1911 at the age of 53, after what contemporary notices described as a brief illness following an operation. No suitable verified portrait image was found from the available Wikipedia page images.
