Early Anglo-Saxon Coins       

Coins are one of the most important sources of information for the Anglo-Saxon period. The combination of inscriptions and images provide evidence about kingship, religion and cultural identity in addition to what they tell us about the Anglo-Saxon economy. This book provides an overview of Anglo-Saxon coins in their historical context and draws on archaeological finds and famous treasures to provide an authoritative account of current interpretations. It covers the period from the Anglo-Saxon settlements of the fifth century through the emergence of the great kingdoms of Kent, East Anglia, Northumbria and Wessex, to the Viking invasions of the mid-ninth century and the conquest of all of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms apart from Alfred the Greats kingdom of Wessex.

Format: 64 pages; illustrated throughout in colour; card covers.
