New publications alert!

I have two articles in the 2020 British Numismatic Journal, the annual journal of the British Numismatic Society. The first article discusses three late medieval and Tudor hoards from Greater London. The second, co-written with Eleanor Ghey from the British Museum, gives a round-up of recent coin hoards reported under the Treasure Act and Treasure Trove laws. Why not check them out? To purchase a copy, get in touch with the Society via their website.

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!
