This book presents the first large-scale comparative study of Iron Age coin mould. The subject of Iron Age minting techniques is an important one that reveals a great deal about Iron Age political organisation and economy but which, until now, has remained largely unreported. In addition to examining in detail approximately 20% of all the coin mould ever found, the book also addresses the lack of an agreed reporting protocol, the main and considerable obstacle to progress in this field. In addition to the detailed interpretation of all mould studied the volume also serves as a field guide to best practice in dealing with new material and finds.

After the collapse of the Central American Federation in 1838, the former states of the federation had no problem minting coins; except for El Salvador. Due to politics and financial strains, El Salvador, relied heavily on foreign coins and estate tokens. It took the nation over 50 years for it to finally establish a mint and the colon coin. However, it took a matter of months for the entire financial system to be replaced with the dollar in 2001. The Numismatic History of El Salvador not only catalogs all coins minted by the state, but tells the story of the nation all the way to the 21st century and the adoption of the dollar economy. The book is perfect for the experience collector who wants to learn more about their collection or in learning about Salvadorian coins. However, The Numismatic History of El Salvador is a perfect read for anyone who is interested in learning about the history of the smallest country in Central America. Whether you're a collector or a history buff, The Numismatic History of El Salvador has something for everyone to enjoy.
