ISBN: 9780786469154 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The coins of ancient and medieval Europe provide unique insights into the economic and political history of their period.

ISBN: 9780197265024 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

As a result, the Grosvenor Museum collection is of national importance for the study of tenth-century... This is the second and concluding volume in the SCBI series devoted to the collection of Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins in the Grosvenor Museum, Chester...
