Coins provide a fascinating insight into the lives of people who lived in vastly different worlds to our own. The study of coins can give us a glance at many different aspects of day to day life, such as changing cultural pressures, political situations, and what societies deemed valuable.
Present Past is proud to stock an ever increasing variety of reproduction historical coins. Each of these coins is hand stamped in pewter, creating a lovely silvery sheen. Being hand-struck in the traditional manner also gives the coins subtle differences.
The dies used to stamp the coins are carved to simulate the styles of specific archaeological finds, from a range of dates between the 8th and 14th centuries. These coins take you through some of the significant changes in British cultural history; from the beginning of the Viking invasions, through the conquest of William I, to the rise of the Angevin Empire.
These sets are perfect for the budding historian, living history enthusiast, or as the perfect gift for the hard to buy for.
£20-£30 per set.
Present Past strives to produce high quality historical inspirations and reproductions, meticulously researched and with the highest standards of customer care
Each set is presented with an 8-12 page booklet detailing the history of each of these coins and their significance within the cultural history of our Island. Printed on high quality parchment paper, these booklets lead you through the story of changing cultural and political pressures.
Also included in the set is a cloth drawstring money pouch for your coins, so as to keep them together in style.
