Coin Register 1998

COIN REGISTER 1998

EDITED BY EDWARD BESLY

THE Coin Register is an annual listing, to which anyone having single finds to report from Britain or Ireland may contribute. Any Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Norman or Plantagenet coin will be eligible down to and including the 'Tealby' type of Henry II, but entries for Roman coins and for later medieval and modern coins will be restricted to those coins which are of particular numismatic merit. The essential criterion for inclusion will be that the coin is new, by virtue of either being newly found or (if previously discovered) being hitherto unpublished. Single finds from excavation sites may be included, if it seems that there would otherwise be considerable delay in publication. The listing of Celtic coins in the Coin Register is carried out in association with the Celtic Coin Index at the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford. Celtic material should therefore be sent in the first instance to Cathy King, c/o the Institute of Archaeology, 36 Beaumont Street, Oxford 0X1 2PG. Other material should be sent to: R. Abdy, Department of Coins and Medals, British Museum, London, WC1B 3DG. Potential contributors may contact either of the above or the Editor of BNJ with any queries about how to submit and set out material. E.M.B.
