[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Besly, Edward.  "COINS AND MEDALS OF THE ENGLISH CIVIL WAR"

London B.A. Seaby Ltd/National Museum of Wales: 1990.

"This book explores the unusually varied coinage and currency of England
and Wales at the time of the 'Great Rebellion' which broke out against
King Charles I in 1642. The associated beginnings of the systematic
awarding of medals for military service are also examined...Later chapters
deal with the Royalist mints at Shrewsbury, Oxford and Bristol. The
circulation of foreign coinage, royalist siege issues and the emergency
coinages of Ireland are all described. The story of the Tower mint is
developed from its takeover by Parliament in 1642 through the Interregnum
of 1649-60 to the aftermath of King Charles II's Restoration in
1660...These topics are illustrated principally using specimens drawn from
the collection of the National Museum of Wales, supported by portraits of
mint-masters and related documents".

Hardcover. 6"x9", 121 pages, color and b/w illustrations, dj;
bibliography; light wear.  [9481]  $75.00
