Bror E Hildebrand. Published by the Kongl. Vitterhets Historie och Antivitets Akademiens Forlag. 1881 2nd (best) ed. HB viii + 502 pp + 14 plates of line drawings.  160 x 245mm.  Swedish text, but the legends and plates are sufficient for an intelligent collector to narrow down most entries to the nearest die!

Victorian period dark blue morocco leather spine and corners, with raised bands and gilt embossed lettering and decoration. Hand-made marbled endpapers.  Many hundreds of neat annotations and added photographs from auction catalogues, some bound in, or tipped in, and with cuttings from newspapers, SNC, etc., bound in, or laid in loose. Edges of spine and bottom corners worn, otherwise contents good -very good. Some light foxing to the plates. Collector's name and address on the first free endpaper  "J H Gardner Thay (?) House, Ampthill".  We have not managed to trace him, but he was clearly a discerning person with a good knowledge of Anglo-Saxon coins and to judge by the annotations, the owner of a good collection.

Still an invaluable standard reference work on the Anglo-Saxon series.
