The iconography reflects diverse cultural influences in the age when Christianity and superstition clashed. The sophistication of design and technical excellence are stunning. Yet sceattas are simultaneously the most dynamic and the most neglected sphere of English numismatics. The dynamism of the coinage derives from bold creativity; the excitement from the rate of finds of previously unknown types. This book is a heavily illustrated identification guide to the protopennies of c.AD 675-775. It uses the extensive iconography of the coinage to provide a visual route of proper classification giving numismatic descriptions and historical, geographic, political, economic and religious context. It is a tool of vital interest to the collector, numismatist, archaeologist, metal detectorist, medieval economic and art historian .
