Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles Volume 35.

Scottish Coins in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow.

There is a total of 1,838 coins listed of which 1,168 belong to the Ashmolean collections and the remaining 670 to the Hunterian cabinet. The coins from the two groups are integrated in this sylloge but with an indication of ownership. The basic arrangement in the catalogue is by reign and then by metal in the order gold, silver, billon, and copper. The coins are then listed according to coinage followed by mint, denomination, and class. Each entry has its own sylloge number accompanied by and A or H to denote an Ashmolean or Hunterian source. This is followed by its weight in grains and grammes, the die axis by degree, a note on chipping, piercing etc. if present and after 1539 the date when included. A full reading of the legends is given for all coins up to the introduction of the long-cross penny in 1250 and a reverse reading only for the long-cross coins up to 1280.
