This new volume in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles
describes and illustrates the Scottish coins minted between 1603
and 1709 that are held in the National Museum of Scotland's
collection. The Museum also holds an important collection of dies
and related objects, the majority of which belong to the
17th-century Scottish coinage. These have therefore been included
in the volume. Each coin and dye is fully described and clearly
illustrated by high quality photographs. Introductory chapters
discuss the history of the Scottish coinage of the period and
contemporary minting practices. With over 100 plates, a list of
sources of all the coins, concordances, bibliography, and indexes,
the volume is a comprehensive guide to the National Museum of
Scotland's collection.
In volume 2 of this series, Part I examines Phocas and Heraclius
(602-641) and Part II covers the period between Heraclius
Constantine to Theodosius III (602-717).
