(PDF) COIN REGISTER 2018

COIN REGISTER 2018 EDITED BY MARTIN ALLEN, ANDREW BROWN AND JOHN NAYLOR Coin Register is an annual survey of single finds of Iron Age, Roman, medieval and post-me- dieval coins and tokens found in England and Wales, using data from the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS), Celtic Coin Index (CCI), and Corpus of Early Medieval Coin Finds (EMC), and other sources. The editors would be very grateful to be notified of any finds that might be included in Coin Register. All Celtic, pre-conquest Roman, Roman silver prior to ad 64, Roman gold and late Roman silver coins from the fourth century onwards are welcomed, as are Anglo-Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coins and their continental contemporaries (down to and including the Cross and Crosslets or Tealby coinage of Henry II), and most later medi- eval continental coins. However, finds outside these categories will still be considered for their numismatic interest. As always, the essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single finds from archaeological excavations may be included if it seems that there would oth- erwise be a considerable delay in publication. Finds of Iron Age, Greek and Roman coins should be notified to Dr Sam Moorhead, c/o Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London WC1B 3DG (smoorhead@ britishmuseum.org). Other material should be sent to Dr Martin Allen, Department of Coins and Medals, Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge CB2 1RB (

). The Iron Age, Greek and Roman coins have been edited by Andrew Brown and Sam Moorhead, and Martin Allen and John Naylor are responsible for the medieval and post-medieval finds.
