Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coins are among the most important sources of information for the Anglo-Saxon period. In addition to what they tell us about the Anglo-Saxon economy, the combination of inscriptions and images provide evidence about kingship, religion and cultural identity. Written by one of the foremost experts on Anglo-Saxon coins, this book provides an overview of Anglo-Saxon coins in their historical context, drawing on recent finds as well as famous treasures to provide an authoritative account of current interpretations. Covering the period from the Anglo-Saxon settlements of the fifth century, through the emergence of the great kingdoms of Kent, East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex, to the Viking invasions of the mid-ninth century and the conquest of all the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms apart from the Wessex of Alfred the Great, this is an essential volume for any aspiring amateur archeologist, coin collector or student interested in this historical period.

Download or read book The Iconography of Early Anglo Saxon Coinage written by Anna Gannon and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first scholarly art-historical appraisal of Anglo-Saxon coinage, from its inception in the late sixth century to Offa's second reform of the penny c.792. Outside numismatic circles, this material has largely been ignored because of its complexity, yet artistically this is the most vibrant period of English coinage, with die-cutters showing flair and innovation and employing hundreds of different designs in their work. By analysing the iconography of the early coinage, this book intends to introduce its rich legacy to a wide audience. Anna Gannon divides the designs of the coins into four main categories: busts (including attributes and drapery), human figures, animals and geometrical patterns, presenting prototypes, sources of the repertoire and parallels with contemporary visual arts for each motif. The comparisons demonstrate the central role of coins in the eclectic visual culture of the time, with the advantages of official sanctioning and wide circulation to support and diffuse new ideas and images. The sources of the motifs clarify the relationship between the many designs of the complex Secondary phase (c.710-50). Contemporary literature and theological writings often offer the key to the interpretation of motifs, hinting at a universal preoccupation with religious themes. The richness of designs and display of learning point to a sophisticated patronage with access to exotic prototypes, excellent craftsmanship and wealth; it is likely that minsters, as rich, learned, and well-organized institutions, were behind some of the coinage. After the economic crises of the mid-eighth century this flamboyant iconography was swept away: with the notable exeption of the coins of Offa, still displaying exciting designs of high quality and inventiveness, reformed issues bore royal names and titles, and strove towards uniformity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Silver Coins of England, Arranged and Described: With Remarks on British Money Previous to the Saxon Dynasties In dismissing this work to the public, the author has great pleasure in acknowledging the readiness with which assistance has been afforded to him from every collector, without exception, to whom he has had occasion to refer. Not only during the progress of the present work, but during a long course of years whenever his numismatic pursuits have induced him to seek for access to any collection of coins or medals, the permission has been granted with a readiness and liberality, which he has the greatest gratification in recording. For assistance afforded in the present undertaking he is peculiarly indebted to Sir Henry Ellis, K. H., who, amidst his extensive researches into English History, has never failed to note every thing which would illustrate our national coinage; to J. D. Cuff, whose collection of coins is exceedingly numerous and valuable, whose knowledge is peculiarly minute and accurate, and whose stores of information have been communicated with the utmost freedom and liberality; to the Rev. J. E. Shepherd, whose valuable assistance will be perceived in the account of the coins of the three Henries, and whose research into that obscure period is a proof and a specimen of the accurate and minute attention, which he has bestowed upon our coinages, and the successful result to which he has pushed his investigations. The coins described from the Museum collection are indicated by the letters Mb. those from private collections by the names of the respective owners in italic capitals.
