Description

Sylloge of coins of the British Isles Volume 46, 1996. lxii, 220 pages, including 50 fine plates, each with descriptive text. Blue cloth. New copy.

This volume is dominated by Surrey, and its urban stretches which Williamson partly separated as 'Southwark'. A more systematic division has been made into Surrey I and the urban Surrey II. For Lambeth, for which there are too few tokens to justify its being taken out of Surrey I, the devices included are rare illustrations of an open pit saw, and one of the earliest depictions in Britain of Punchinello. The whole of Surrey is a very good series. Re-attributed to Warwickshire has been Hanche 'Pits', from Staffordshire, both counties being well represented even though they are somewhat rare. Much of Sussex came late into token issuing. The small county of Westmorland is well represented, with interesting devices, issuing partnerships, and companies.
