Chronicles and other textual sources are virtually silent on Man in this period, so finds of coins and other metallic objects represent a vital window into the economy of the island. In this volume, Bornholdt Collins catalogues the coin collection in Douglas and discusses a group of coins that was made on Man itself in the eleventh century. A system is revealed that used silver and other metals on a substantial scale, but in the form of bullion as well as coin, influenced by Anglo-Saxon England, the Danelaw, and the Viking Dublin.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Coins, banknotes, medals, seals [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Coins, banknotes, medals, seals\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Coins,%20banknotes,%20medals,%20seals%20%5Bnumismatics%5D%20%5BWCF%5D%22\"\u003enumismatics WCF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52472099569944,"sku":"9780197267684","price":129.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197267684_main.jpg?v=1785716921","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/manx-museum-douglas-isle-of-man-anglo-saxon-hiberno-scandinavian-hiberno-manx-and-other-coins-and-currencies-to-c-1275-hardback-9780197267684","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
