Die älteste keltische Gold- und Silberprägung in England

Abstract

The classification of the earliest British gold coinage had so far rested almost entirely on the overall impression of the coin images, that is on general stylistic observation, without a carefully differentiating typology. The methodological advance of Celtic numismatics, the reconstruction of the technical sequence of striking, had likewise not been applied to the early British issues. This study, a Munich master's thesis, supplies both: using die links while attending to wear and ageing of the dies, it reconstructs the sequence of striking for the individual series. It rests on a body of material recorded at Oxford from many European and American cabinets.
