Mints and Moneyers

Recommended Posts

Hello chaps,

I'm a bit embarrassed to ask such a question so far into my hammered penny collecting, but is there a definitive list of 'moneyers by mint town' published anywhere? I'd like to get a list for the mint in Salisbury. I sometimes read listings like 'there are only two known coins of this moneyer' for this type, very scarce, etc and have been wondering how they know this!

Thanks,
Descartes

Try North (vol.1) for a reasonably comprehensive list of moneyers for each reign at a particular mint. As for individual numbers of type by a certain moneyer you will have to refer to specialist volumes or articles regarding said mint.

Thanks Rob. I really must get a copy of both the North volumes then. They are quite pricey, but I guess they are worth the investment in the long run!

There’s this copy at £7

the other one is also on that site at £8.50

Equally I don’t think the latest new editions are that expensive new either.

edit: I never understand why the Galata links don’t work, but you can search them with ‘north hammered’ on their site :)

Good prices. I paid £40 for the pair about 10 years ago. 

Snap em up!

I don't know if it covers your period of interest, but have you seen Martin Allen's 2012 British Numismatic Society paper "The Mints and Moneyers of England and Wales 1066-1158"?

Download the PDF from: https://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/2012_BNJ_82_5.pdf

If you take a look at the SCBI and EMC you can filter by mint as well as monarch and view a comprehensive list of coins for that mint. It's excellent up to and including the Norman period, a bit sketchy for Plantagenet issues.

Martin Allen is very approachable and always keen to hear about new discoveries and will also assist with questions.

Thank you Arthur, this is very useful indeed.
