Leaden Tokens and Tallies: Roman to Victorian

Leaden Tokens & Tallies. Roman to Victorian

Edward Fletcher

Paperback, 113p, many col pls (Greenlight 2005).

A guide to moulded or stamped leaden 'currency' through 1,000 years of history. Edward Fletcher is a lively narrator, guiding the reader chronologically through the finds (many of which are reproduced in full colour illustrations). 
The text ranges far and wide to tell the stories; the photographs show several hundred images of leaden tokens and tallies from every age. They cast much needed light on a group of collectable artefacts about which little has been written until now. This book is the third in Edward Fletcher's popular Tokens & Tallies series. 780 illustrations.
