Archaeological Numismatist
Another bit of numismatic data viz! This map illustrates the changing geography of minting in Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man c.973-1544.
The data used in this graphic comes from two key sources: Martin Allen’s excellent Mints and money in medieval England, and Philip Skingley’s edited volume on Coins of Scotland, Ireland, and the Islands. Both books are available from all good retailers!
Some more data viz for you: this time, the number of moneyers operating at the mints of London and Southwark from c.973 to 1158.
This visualisation is an output of my ongoing research project, ‘PRMC-L: Post-Roman and Medieval Coin Finds from London‘. Funding for Phase 1 of this project has been generously provided by the British Numismatic Society’s John Casey Fund.
Some Friday morning data viz: this graphic illustrates the changing distribution of medieval coin hoards found in England and Wales to 2017.
The pattern of coin hoarding in England and Wales, AD c.973-1544
For the underlying data, and a detailed interpretation, do have a look at my recent book, ‘Coin hoarding in medieval England and Wales, c.973-1544. Behaviours, motivations, and mentalités’. Copies are available direct from the publisher’s website.
