In 1948, Humphrey Sutherland published Anglo-Saxon Gold Coinage, the earliest trulycomprehensive catalogue of the subject matter, including the first full description of theAnglo-Saxon coins in the Crondall hoard of 1828.

There has been no complete, illustrated catalogue since. Such is the glacial rate ofnumismatic progress on early gold.

However, in the digital era advancement is accelerating. With the increasing popularity ofmetal-detection in recent decades, more finds have surfaced. The Portable Antiquities schemehas facilitated recording in the public domain.. Popular metal detection websites andmagazines have enabled improved access to information. Auction catalogues have broadcasthigh resolution images and recent results have obliterated previous records.

In an attempt to make identification swifter and more reliable and readily eliminate boguscoins, Tony Abramson, author of the ground-breaking Sceatta List, now compliments thatwork with a prequel - a complete and beautifully illustrated account of all recorded earlyEnglish gold coinage.

This compact volume is essential for all detectorists, field liaison officers, curators, scholars,dealers, auction cataloguers and collectors.
