£20.00 • 68pp • A5 softback

The voided longcross coinage of Henry III (1247–1278) occupies a pivotal place in English monetary history. Struck in silver and carefully designed to be cut into halves and quarters for smaller transactions, it represents the last English coinage intentionally created to be subdivided in this way.

This compact guide serves as a practical companion to the definitive Churchill & Thomas study of the series, offering readers a clear and accessible pathway into one of the most fascinating areas of medieval numismatics. Designed for both newcomers and experienced collectors alike, it provides a structured classification system that makes identifying these coins both straightforward and rewarding.

Portable and easy to consult, the book is equally useful in the reading room, at the study desk, or in the field. Detailed drawn illustrations of every subclass, together with carefully organised reference material, allow readers to confidently identify and classify any example from this remarkable and enigmatic coinage.

An indispensable reference for collectors, historians, and numismatists, this guide brings clarity and accessibility to one of medieval England’s most important coin series.
