The Iconography of Early Anglo-Saxon Coinage

In this art historical appraisal of early Anglo-Saxon coinage, Anna Gannon examines the many coins produced during this most vibrant period of English coinage. She analyses their prototypes and explores their sources and parallels with contemporary arts, literature, and theology, setting their meaning in context.

As this book so aptly shows, a considerable amount of history can be teased out of a careful analysis...a book on coins that can be enjoyably read cover to cover.
