Soft cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1982. 40pp. B&W images and illustrations. "During most of the period of more than six centuries when Scotland had an independent coinage there was a mint at Edinburgh, although it was not until late in the Middle Ages that it became first the most important and eventually the only source of new currency. The aim of this publication is to outline the part played by the Edinburgh mint in the history of Scotland's coinage and to provide an up-to-date summary of our knowledge of the history of the mint itself. It is not intended to relate the complete history of coinage in Scotland, or to discuss at length the techniques involved in minting coins in former times, as both these subjects have been covered fully elsewhere. A short list of references is included for those who wish to read further on these topics. The final part of the booklet comprises a catalogue of all the Scottish coins and trade tokens held in the collections of Edinburgh City Museums and Art Galleries. Most of the coins are products of the Edinburgh mint, and many of them are on display in Huntly House Museum". Book has very slight wear to corners. Previous owner's name embossed on first page. Otherwise the book is in excellent condition. Minor highlighting to catalogue.
