The Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) project aims to publish detailed and fully illustrated catalogues of coins of the British Isles held in British and foreign collections, and to make these coins accessible in a database via the Internet. The 54 published volumes range in scope from Iron Age coins to seventeenth-century tokens, with the most detailed coverage of the Anglo-Saxon and later medieval coinage. The Sylloge is a fundamental source of material for the study of coin issues and moneyers, designs and die-cutting styles, metrology, hoards and single-finds, and personal- and place-name forms. The volumes are of relevance not only to numismatists, but also to archaeologists and historians who increasingly have grown aware of their need to understand and use numismatic evidence. The SCBI Database with images of some 50,000 Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins is available on the project's website. A related project, on Medieval European Coinage, aims to publish, in some 17 volumes, a detailed survey, primarily for the historian, of medieval coinage with a catalogue of the coins in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The volumes, written in collaboration with foreign scholars, cover the coinages of Europe region by region in the period c.450-1500.
