Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : very good. - This is a comprehensive introduction to medieval coinage as a vital non-written source for understanding the economic, political, and cultural history of the Middle Ages. Coins are examined not only as monetary instruments but also as artifacts reflecting authority, ideology, and artistic expression. Grierson outlines the development of coinage systems, minting techniques, typologies, inscriptions, and iconography, placing them within broader historical contexts such as feudal fragmentation, royal power, and commercial expansion. The study emphasizes how coins offer evidence of territorial control, trade networks, and the spread of monetary economies. As part of a typological framework, it highlights the interdisciplinary value of numismatics in reconstructing medieval institutions, communication, and identity. ISBN 9782503360218.
