The book includes detailed descriptions of each coin, including its weight, diameter, metal content, and any other relevant information. The book also includes high-quality photographs of each coin, allowing readers to examine the coins in detail. The book is an essential reference for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in the history of English coins.""1893. Volume II of II. This volume of the Catalogue of English Coins in the British Museum contains descriptions of the Coins of Wessex from Ecgbeorht to Eadwig, and of those of All England from Eadgar to the Norman Conquest. Taken in conjunction with the first volume, which dealt with the coinages of Mercia, Kent, East Anglia, and Northumbria, it completes the description of all the Anglo-Saxon Coins in the National Collection. In the lists of moneyers given in the first volume the names of those not represented in the National Collection were inserted. In the present volume this scheme has been further extended by including all known types of Coins, whether or not represented in the Museum series. The names of moneyers and the descriptions of the types of Coins not in the Museum are printed in italics. As the Coins in the volume are all Silver Pennies (unless otherwise described), the weight only of each piece is given, and not the size or metal. This volume has been compiled by Grueber, Assistant Keeper of Coins and by Keary, the author of the first volume. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
