**New Title - Published May 2026**

This beautiful new hardback book features more than 1500 high resolution images of sceattas.
• It is a comprehensive guide to their identification, with simplified descriptions which highlight the differences between each variety.

• The images have been painstakingly assembled from a multitude of sources such as auction houses and coin dealers as well as metal detectorists, avoiding where possible those images that are already found on the standard databases such as PAS and EMC. 

• Clear images with full explanation of differentiating characteristics, making it suitable for beginners and experts alike.

• The primary system of identification used is Abramson's Sceatta List numerical system, backed up by Rigold's letter system and the BMC numbers, where possible.

(It should be noted that not every single Sceatta List variety was available from the above mentioned resource, but this book is not intended to compete with Sceatta List, more as an essential specimen based companion for anyone with a copy of Sceatta List. Although it is still a stand alone work for those who wish to learn about sceattas and study them.)
