Summary
This long-awaited publication, dedicated to the British museum's collection of Anglo-Saxon gold and Anglo-Saxon and continental silver coins from the North Sea area from the early seventh to the mid-eighth centuries, illuminates a coinage of major significance. This was the coinage which circulated during the age of the Lindisfarne gospels and Sutton Hoo, and which is celebrated for its artistic accomplishment. The last publication documenting this part of the British museum's collection was published in 1887 and since then the collection has more than tripled in size. Accompanied by a significant introduction from leading authorities setting this complex coinage in context, this highly illustrated volume features more than 850 coins, together forming one of the world's largest, oldest and most representative collections.
