Pictures from “A Short History of the English People” by J. R. Green M.A., Macmillan, 1902. This book was first published in 1874, and was very successful. I have the illustrated edition, which was edited posthumously by his widow; this is a reissue of the 1892 edition as far as I can tell from the Impressions page. John Richard Green was an English historian (1837 – 1883). I also have England by the same author.

Coin of Æthelstan

Coin of Æthelstan

A Short History of the English People (1902)

King Æthelstan ruled England from A.D. 924 to 940. This coin is inscribed “ÆĐELSTANRE” on one side and possibly “BIORNEARDMOLONDCI” on the other. There is also a somewhat crude likeness of the king.
