This groundbreaking study of coinage in early medieval England is
the first to take account of the very significant additions to the
corpus of southern English coins discovered in recent years and to
situate this evidence within the wider historical context of
Anglo-Saxon England and its continental neighbours. Its nine
chapters integrate historical and numismatic research to explore
who made early medieval coinage, who used it and why. The currency
emerges as a significant resource accessible across society and,
through analysis of its production, circulation and use, the author
shows that control over coinage could be a major asset. This
control was guided as much by ideology as by economics and embraced
several levels of power, from kings down to individual craftsmen.
Thematic in approach, this innovative book offers an engaging,
wide-ranging account of Anglo-Saxon coinage as a unique and
revealing gauge for the interaction of society, economy and
government.
