The Coins of England
Medium: CD Publisher: Archive CD Books
This is an absolutely beautiful book, which is full of richly coloured illustrations. English coins are intimately connected with the general history and progress of the country, of which they form interesting and informative monuments. A coin proves several things about the people who issued it and their state of civilisation through the artwork, people and places with which they are decorated. In this delightful book the author describes coins from the Ancient World, prior to the establishment of Roman coins until the reign of Victoria. The coins of Saxons, the Commonwealth, Cromwell and every Monarch are all thoroughly investigated.
