Can anyone recommend a good medieval coin book please which would cover hammered coins etc.....Im just looking to familiarise myself with coinage through this period so if i am lucky enough to find one at least i will have a fighting chance of knowing what it is

Thanks all

Spink is a good starting point, but If you have an unlimited budget, the references provided by the PAS might be worth looking at -

Or ask Allectus.

It depends how much detail you want Mark, and how much you want to spend.

The standard for identifying English coins is 'Coins of England' (Spink)

A nice and useful cheaper book is England's Striking History.

A slightly more expensive, but excellent book is 'A History of Medieval Coinage in England' https://www.greenlightpublishing.com/PB ... D=18099860

If you don't have any books on the subject yet, I'd go for the Spink.

Check the spinks book on Amazon, an excellent second hand one will only cost you less than a fiver.

For simple quick reading , giving justi background and general familiarisation 'England's Striking History' is what I started with before moving on to the others.
As above, depending how in depth your looking to go. In the end I find I end up with all of them!
