Description: | This is a strong collection, some three-quarters of which comprises coins discovered during excavations of the King's Spring. There are also coins from the Saxon mint at Bath, as well as a number of ancient coins, mostly Roman; a representative collection of English coins from the Saxon period to the 20th century; miscellaneous foreign coins; commemorative medals; jettons; and reckoning counters. There is also a comprehensive collection of local 17th, 18th and 19th century tokens, tickets, inn checks and banknotes from Bath and north east Somerset.
Many of the 18th century tokens carry pictures of spa buildings. | Subjects: | Numismatics | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01225 477 243 | Telephone: | 01225 477 774 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:2965 | Go to resource |
