Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles Volume 42.

South-Eastern Museums. Ancient British, Anglo-Saxon, and Later Coins to
1279. 

This long awaited volume, the last work to be undertaken by Antony Gunstone before his premature death in 1984, catalogues some 2,350 coins, the largest number of any single Sylloge volume to date. The coins came from 45 metropolitan and provincial museums lying within an arc running from Southampton to Peterborough (excluding East Anglia, which was previously published). This volume includes a good run of Celtic coins mostly from local finds, and the Anglo-Saxon and later issues down to the beginning of Edward I's reign are well represented. The particular strength of these collections, however, lies in the coinages of Edward the Confessor, Harold II and William I, drawing material from several large nineteenth-century hoards found in London and Sussex. As usual, the catalogue is fully illustrated, and is equipped with a survey of the collections, a bibliography and four indexes.

xiv, 210 pages, including 78 fine plates, each with descriptive text. Cloth. Hardback.
