MEDIEVAL SILVER COINS
"A spectacular and varied collection of historic hammered silver coinage, spanning centuries of early British history. Hand-struck using an ancient technique where silver blanks were manually beaten between hand-carved dies, each individual coin carries its own unique shape, texture, and character. This remarkable assortment captures the transition of royal power across multiple dynasties, featuring early medieval issues from the various Henrys and Edwards, through to the late Renaissance coinage of Queen Elizabeth I. They represent the ultimate, hard-won triumph of historical discovery and a captivating glimpse into ancient commerce."
