Excerpt from The British Numismatic Journal
But although the evidence of the names of the moneyers and of the runic letter on the coins Of the moneyer Cynwulf is strongly in favour of an attribution of the entire series to the second archbishop of that name, there is another feature in the coinage of the time.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the use of coins to heal the sick, providing a unique and valuable contribution to the study of English history, religion, and medicine. In England, for centuries, kings and queens exercised the power to heal a disease known as 'the King's Evil' through the laying on of hands and the bestowal of a gold coin known as an 'angel'. The author traces this practice from its origins in medieval beliefs about royal sanctity, through its development during the Tudor and Stuart periods, to its decline and eventual discontinuation in the 18th century. Throughout, the book delves into the cultural and political significance of this royal prerogative, shedding fresh light on the relationship between monarchy, religion, and popular faith. The book's fascinating exploration of this historic practice offers a rich lens through which to examine the complex interplay between medicine, politics, and society.
