The Companion to Hawkins’s Strver Coins of England. 15744 HISTORY of the GOLD COINAGE of ENGLAND, by R. Lt. Kenyon, Hditor of the second edition of Hawkins’s Silver Coins of England, 1 vol. demy 8vo. (uniform with the work of Hawkins), 24: plates, engraved by F. J. Luus, Roxburghe, gilt top, 24s 1883 This work contains a complete account of the English current gold coins, from the earliest Saxon times to the present reign, with 200 illustrations, and includes a description of gold coins attributed to the first half of the seventh century. It will be uniform with the second edition of Hawkins’ Silver Coins, for which see page 1561. It is hoped that the light which an examination of the gold coins throws upon the proper appropriation of the silver, as, for instance, in the reigns of Henry V and VI and of Edward V, together with the information about the history of the coinage which this volume contains, may make it acceptable to collectors, even though their cabinets may not contain a great number of gold coins.
