- Description
The Short-Cross Coinage 1180-1247 by Christopher R. Wren
Christopher Wren’s invaluable trio of guides to Medieval pennies, including The Short-Cross Coinage 1180-1247. This book was first published in the 1990s and are intended as an introduction to assist new collectors and detectorists alike in classifying the coins.
The book gives a brief historical context of the short cross coinage and the development of the classification system in used today. Information from the original written records has been invaluable in establishing a chronology, and in placing coins of the different types in sequence.
The Hammered Corner has recently released a short video, Short Cross Coins Made Easy, which features extracts from the book and aims to simplify the short cross coinage for beginners. We are delighted to share it herewith:
Wren’s Royal Numismatic Society Lhotka Prize-winning title is packed full of practical information on this extensive series, including tables and many drawings, together with a detailed bibliography and notes on such subjects as legend errors, continental imitations and the related issues from Scotland and Ireland.
