EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating collection of English coins from the 9th to the early 11th century, featuring the portraits of Kings Egbert, Athelstan, Edmund I, Eadred, Edgar the Peaceful, Edmund Ironside, Canute, and Hardicanute. Dating back to 802-1042 AD, these coins represent a significant period in English history, spanning the Late Saxon and Early Norman eras. The coins, which were produced during the reigns of these monarchs, are intricately detailed, displaying various designs and inscriptions. King Egbert's coin, for instance, bears the image of a cross and the legend "Egberht Rex," while Hardicanute's coin features a bust of the king and the inscription "Hardicanutus Rex Anglorum." These coins were essential for trade and commerce during the medieval period, serving as a means of exchange for goods and services. Made primarily of silver or gold, they were often struck with the image of the reigning monarch and inscribed with his name and title, making them valuable not only as currency but also as historical artifacts. This print, published in 1789, is a testament to the rich history of English coinage and the monarchs who ruled during this time. It provides a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of the Late Saxon and Early Norman periods, as well as the artistic and design sensibilities of the time. The coins in this collection are a reminder of the enduring importance of money and its role in shaping the course of history.
