- Book Synopsis
- This first detailed study of the coinage in tenth-century England covers the period from the accession of Athelstan in 924 to the major reform carried out by Edgar in 973-5. Starting with the earlier accession of Edward the Elder in 899, it takes account also of the Viking issues of the first quarter of the 10th century and of the coinage of Plegmund, the last Anglo-Saxon archbishop of Canterbury to coin in his own name. As well as complementing a catalogue of coins in the British Museum of the same period (Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles Vol. 34, British Museum Publications), it also covers the first quarter of the century reserved for the next British Museum catalogue. Anglo-Saxon studies have taken great strides in recent years and this volume will prove a valuable source for both historians and numismatists. The three co-authors have published widely on the subject over many years. Numismatists, archaeologists, Anglo-Saxon historians. Students and scholars of the above.
