Excerpt from Handbook of the Coins of Great Britain and Ireland in the British Museum This Handbook contains descriptions of all the specimens exhibited in the window-cases of the Corridor of the Department of Coins and Medals; viz. 974 English, 234 Scottish, and 134 Irish Coins, ranging from the earliest Anglo-Saxon issues, circ. A.D. 600, down to the present day. Much additional historical and descriptive matter, together with lists of the mint-marks chronologically arranged under each reign and translations of the mottoes (given in the Appendices), will it is hoped make this work a comprehensive guide to the entire coinage of Great Britain and Ireland. It has been written by Mr. H. A. Grueber, who is also responsible for the historical Introduction. The sixty-four Collotype Plates, by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, give representations of all the more interesting specimens. The proof sheets have been read throughout by myself.
