Description

This fully illustrated catalogue of coins of Edward the Confessor and Harold II in the superb collection of the Swedish Royal Coin Cabinet is a fundamental reference work for anyone studying or identifying late Anglo-Saxon coins.

The volume catalogues and illustrates 1,280 coins of Edward the Confessor, the largest collection ever published, alongside detailed discussion of the moneyers' names and commentary on a number of specific names.

The majority of coins come from Swedish Viking-age finds, and the contents of 108 finds with coins of Edward the Confessor and Harold I are also surveyed.

The volume includes a supplement to Part VI (Anglo-Norman coins) which publishes 72 additional coins from the Stockholm collection.
