Synopsis

Discover a rich, illustrated look at numismatics and antiquarian curiosities in a lively second volume.

This collection gathers essays, correspondence, and technical commentary on coins, mints, and medieval lore, balanced with biographical notes and historical insight. Readers will find detailed discussions of Exeter’s Devonshire coinage, debates about Edward the First through Edward the Third, and a celebrated exploration of Edward the Fifth’s coinage, all framed by archival glimpses and scholarly dialogue.

In this edition, you’ll encounter:
  • In-depth papers on penny types, mint marks, and the evolution of coinage in Exeter and other English mints.
  • Correspondence and notes that illuminate the process of attribution, discovery, and collection within numismatics.
  • Plates and engravings, with explanations of the illustrations and their historical context.
  • Prefaces and essays that connect coin history with broader antiquarian and literary themes.
Ideal for numismatists and readers curious about historical money, this volume offers both technical detail and accessible narrative, encouraging further study and collecting.
