British Celtic Coins: Art or Imitation? - TimWright
£30.00 Hardback. 144 pages.
Britain was a late adopter of coinage, initially importing coins from the Gallo-Belgic continent and then copying their Macedonian-inspired prototypes. Britain also produced them for longer than the continent, latterly incorporating themes and imagery from Rome. These bookends of external influence have led some to dismiss the coins of pre-Roman Britain (and indeed ‘Celtic’ coins generally) as inferior. The most compelling counter to this is the coins themselves, explored through the theme of Art or Imitation? What we find is extraordinary variety and originality, that makes a powerful case for their collection and study.

The English Long-Cross Pennies 1279-1489 by Christopher R. Wren
Paperback, 196 pages
This volume covers Edward I to Henry VII and is part of Christopher Wren’s invaluable trio of guides to Medieval pennies which were first published in the 1990s and are intended as an introduction to assist new collectors and detectorists alike in classifying the coins.
These books give a brief historical context of the short cross coinage and the development of the classification system in used today. Information from the original written records has been invaluable in establishing a chronology, and in placing coins of the different types in sequence.
These Royal Numismatic Society Lhotka Prize winning titles are packed full of practical information on this extensive English medieval penny series. They includes tables and many drawings, together with a detailed bibliography for further reading, and notes on such subjects as legend errors, continental imitations and the related issues from Scotland and Ireland.
