This volume completes publication of the Anglo-Saxon component of the rich and diverse coin collection built up in the Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg. It lists and illustrates over 1, 100 late Anglo-Saxon pennies now held in the Hermitage, the bulk of them found in Russian hoards depositedduring the early Middle Ages. Among these fine and well-preserved coins are many important rarities representing short-lived types and ephemeral mint-towns. As such it is an important resource for scholars of late Anglo-Saxon history and coinage, and for those interested in the currency whichcirculated in northern and eastern Europe in the Viking Age. | Hermitage Museum St Petersburg by V.
