ANGLO-SAXON
ACQUISITIONS
OF
THE
BRITISH MUSEUM.
Thrymsa and Sceatta Series
;
Mercia.
[See
Plate
X.]
The
first
olume
of
the
Catalogue
of
English
Coins
in the
British
Museum
(Anglo-Saxon
Series)
was
pub-
lished
in
1887,
and
was followed
by
a
second
volume
in 1893. Since
the
publication
of
these two volumes
the collection
has
been
increased
by
a
very
large
number
of
coins,
many
of
which,
notably
the find
presented
by
Sir A. W. Franks
(Num.
Chron
,
1894,
p.
29),
have
materially
ncreased
our
knowledge
of
the
coinages
of
the
Anglo-Saxon
period.
It
has been
suggested
that
a
notice
in the
Chronicle of coins
acquired
by
the British
Museum
since
the
publication
of the
Catalogue
would
be of
service
to
members,
nd
I
therefore
propose
to
publish
them
with
a.
brief
description,
nd
with
any
reference hat
will
suffice o
identify them, and to indicate their position in
relation
to
the
catalogued
coins.

The

is
presumably
taken
from a Roman
original, perhaps from third-centurysilver, or from
the
CONCORDIA

or
bronze of
Carausius
the
use of

not seem to
