A Guide to the Study and Arrangement of English Coins: Giving a Description of Every Denomination of Every Issue in Gold, Silver, and Copper, from the Conquest to the Present Time

The illustrations may prove useful, and have been carefully drawn for the most part from the coins themselves, two or three, however, are copied from the excellent plates of Hawkins. The legends or inscriptions on the coins are printed throughout in large capitals. The full weight and fineness of each coin is given from the best authorities, together with the present state of rarity, exemplified by the prices from the recent coin sales. The lists of the titles at full length in Latin, with their translations, are new features, and will, it is hoped, be of some use. The list of mint names on pages 5 to 13 of Part II., will assist in determining the places of mintage of the earlier coins.
