Extract

In connexion with the preceding paper, a summary of the numismatic evidence as to the currency of Britain, in its relation to that of the Continent, till the establishment of the Saxon scheme, based on the silver penny, may be found useful. It is derived almost entirely from published material.

1. Greek and Roman coins of the third to first centuries B.C. are found sporadically in England: there is no sign that they were used for the purpose of currency, or related in any way to the British and Gaulish money.

2. Late Republican and Augustan coins occur fairly often, and their types are borrowed by British mints.
