Since 1997 the Portable Antiquities Scheme has recorded almost 1.5
million objects found in England and Wales, the vast majority
discovered by members of the public rather than professional
archaeologists. Among these finds are more than 10,000 early
medieval coins. Each one of these coins has its own story to tell,
from its minting, use and loss through to its eventual recovery and
recording. In this book, Dr John Naylor, the PAS's National Finds
Adviser for Early Medieval and Later Coinage, explores the
Anglo-Saxon world through these coin finds, tracing the development
of coinage from the end of Roman Britain to the Norman Conquest of
1066 and how they were used by early medieval people. As well as
their use in trading, he shows how they can help us to understand
how the Anglo-Saxons saw themselves through looking at coin design
and iconography, and how they were used in diverse and interesting
ways such as their inclusion in burials and hoards, and their
re-use as items of jewellery.
