The Abbey and Mint of Bury St. Edmunds to 1279
This major work is the definitive study of the mint at Bury St Edmunds, one of Englandï¿1/2s longest-lived medieval mints. Dr Eaglen presents the history of the mint from its inception in the reign of Edward the Confessor until the coinage reform of 1279, set in its historical context. He also provides a definitive listing of the coin types and moneyers known from Bury St Edmunds. The book includes a catalogue and die-study of over 3,000 coins, as well as 21 plates. It is the fifth book to be published in the Societyï¿1/2s series of Special Publications, which was established in 1991 to enable the publication of significant monographs on British numismatics.
Coin Finds in Britain
Over the centuries Britain's soil has yielded countless spectacular hoards of ancient coins and other artefacts, affording us priceless insights into our ancestors' lives – and it is not only such large finds that await discovery but also many thousands of individual pieces. Wonderfully, discoveries both minor and momentous are frequently made not by teams of professionals but by amateur archaeologists and metal-detector enthusiasts, for whom this book is intended as a helpful companion. It provides a catalogue of commonly encountered coins, dating from ancient times until the modern day, explaining their historical context, how they might have come to be lost and where they may be found today.
