Money on the Silk Road
by Helen Wang
This book focuses on the money of Eastern Central Asia to c. AD 800, a period of over 900 years, across a vast geographical area with a very diverse population of different cultures and traditions. The only relevant historical accounts are those found in the Chinese dynastic histories, yet these contain few references to money in Eastern Central Asia. This study therefore depends almost entirely on the archaeological evidence for money found at ...

The Frome Hoard
by Sam Moorhead, Anna Booth and Roger Bland
On 9 April 2010, Dave Crisp found 21 coins while metal detecting on farmland near Frome. Two days later, he returned to the site and discovered a huge pot filled with more coins.

by Damon Douglas, edited by Gary Trudgen
From the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783, until the central mint was founded in 1792, many states minted their own coinage. Damon G Douglas began researching some of these early coins, but his New Jersey manuscript was far from finished when he abandoned it. Nonetheless, it remains an important source of information on New Jersey copper coinage of 1786-1789. In the interests of making this work more widely available to those wishing ...

Silver Economies, Monetisation and Society in Scandinavia, AD 800-1200
edited by James Graham-Campbell, Soren Sindbaek and Gareth William
The Viking Age was a period of great economic complexity and experimentation in Scandinavia. By the end of the period, an ancient 'display' economy, based on ornaments of precious metal, had been largely replaced by counted money and national coinages. But this development was neither simple nor linear: for much of the Viking Age, several silver economies co-existed and interacted. The role of silver in Viking-age society and economy has recently ...
