'The most comprehensive catalogue ever published of English silver coinage 1279-1351, this volume will prove invaluable in the precise identification of some of the commonest medieval coins. The 1,247 specimens (mainly from the author's own collection) illustrate every known significant variety, including imitations.
The classification of this most complex coinage, hitherto scattered in the literature, is covered in depth; there is a summary of the standard classification published by the Fox brothers over 70 years ago and of the many refinements that have arisen from subsequent research. Important new studies are the subject of separate chapters by other leading experts.
To assist practical identification, there are charts and drawings for the more complicated issues, together with pointers to the classification and details of reverse legends.
This will be an indispensable reference work for scholars, museum curators, collectors and dealers concerned with Edwardian silver coinage.'
