About the Authors
  • This volume of Medieval European Coinage is the first English-language survey to bring the latest research on the coinage of Spain and Portugal c.1000-1500 to an international audience. A major work of reference by leading numismatic experts, the volume provides an authoritative and up-to-date account of the coinages of Aragon, Catalonia, Castile, Leon, Navarre and Portugal, which have rarely been studied together. It considers how money circulated throughout the peninsula, offering new syntheses of the monetary history of the individual kingdoms, and includes an extensive catalogue of the Aragonese, Castilian, Catalan, Leonese, Navarrese and Portuguese coins in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum. This major contribution to the field will be a valuable point of reference for the study of medieval history, numismatics, and archaeology.

    • A new synthesis of coinage of the Iberian peninsula, bringing together the coinages for Spain (including Catalonia) and Portugal for the first time
    • The first comprehensive English-language synthesis of the coinages, making previously inaccessible specialist work available to an international audience
    • Illustrations include a catalogue of coins from the world famous Grierson collection, allowing easy comparison and familiarisation
