By one of the leading experts on this subject, 190pp, packed with over 1600 black & white coin illustrations and figures. line drawings by Michael Metcalf, Softcover. Sceattas evince the explosion of creativity and economic activity marking the end of the so-called 'Dark Age'. The iconography reflects diverse cultural influences in an age when Christianity and superstition clashed. The sophistication of design and technical excellence are stunning. Yet Sceattas are simultaneously the most dynamic and the most neglected sphere of English numismatics. The dynamism of the coinage derives from bold creativity; the excitement from the rate of discovery of previously unknown forms. Sceattas An Illustrated Guide is a heavily illustrated identification guide to the protopennies of AD 675-775. It uses the extensive iconography of the coinage to provide a visual route to proper classification giving numismatic descriptions and historical, geographic, political, economic and religious context. It is a tool of vital interest to the collector, numismatist, archaeologist, metal-detectorist, medieval and economic and art historians. Types of Sceattas included: Animals, Faces, Radiates, Standards, Birds, Figures, Saltires, Step Cross, Diadems, Twin Figures, Serpents, Torcs, Profiles, Quilled Figs. (see sample pages below), Rosettes, Celtic Crosses, Stars and Triquettes & Northumbria.
