Lecture - Early Anglo-Saxon Coinage

Lecture
Early Anglo-Saxon Coinage
By Dr Tony Abramson
 
Historians, medievalists, archaeologists and even those who study coins – numismatists – have largely neglected England's earliest coinage. Tony Abramson gives a zoom talk to Pontefract & District Archaeological Society presenting a guided tour to some of the remarkable designs on early English coinage, which has illuminated what is erroneously referred to as the Dark Ages. He will discuss the sources of inspiration, the evolving economy, the extent of trading relations and the use of metaphor in spreading Christianity – the medium is the message!
