The Short-Cross Coinage 1180-1247

Christopher Wren's invaluable trio of guides to Medieval pennies, including The Short-Cross Coinage 1180-1247, were first published in the 1990s and are intended as an introduction to assist new collectors and detectorists alike in classifying the coins.

The book gives a brief historical context of the short cross coinage and the development of the classification system in used today. Information from the original written records has been invaluable in establishing a chronology, and in placing coins of the different types in sequence.

Wren's Royal Numismatic Society Lhotka Prize-winning title is packed full of practical information on this extensive series, including tables and many drawings, together with a detailed bibliography and notes on such subjects as legend errors, continental imitations and the related issues from Scotland and Ireland.
