Medieval mints of Britain, Ireland, and the Isle of Man

20 July 2020 / Murray Andrews

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.
