This work delves into the numismatic history of coins and tokens in England, exploring their origins, types, and significance, as well as providing insight into ancient Greek and Roman monetary practices. Overall, the book seeks to illuminate the development of coinage in Britain and its connections to broader historical contexts. The opening of the text discusses the introduction of coinage to ancient Britain, positing that it likely originated from interactions with the Gauls, particularly in the Kentish region. Jewitt elaborates on the difficulties in pinpointing the exact time and nature of coin production among the ancient Britons, suggesting that it may have commenced around 150 to 200 years before Christ. The discussion includes various types of early coins, their designs and adaptations over time, and the role of uninscribed versus inscribed coins, emphasizing the impact of Greek and later Roman influences on British currency. The foundation for numismatic study is established through a synthesis of archaeological evidence and historical conjecture. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
