Explore Scotland’s coin history from the earliest days to the Union with authoritative text and careful plates.
This volume collects introductory material, then codes of coin law and treasury records across successive reigns, offering context for how Scottish money evolved and how scholars reclassify old issues.
The work frames its study with an introduction, followed by sections titled by monarchs, each containing Acts of Parliament, Exchequer Rolls, and miscellaneous records. It also documents the plates that illustrate the coinages discussed, and it notes sources, acknowledgments, and the people who helped assemble the material. The pages reveal how early weights, standards, and coin types were determined and revised, and they discuss how new findings can change understanding of Scottish monetary history.
