Book synopsis

Ancient Near Eastern hoards of randomly shaped silver, generically called hacksilber, have come increasingly to be interpreted as hoards of pre-coinage currency. These papers present insights into the circulation and use of these hoards, drawing on new scientific and documentary analyses. The authors explore the important question of how roughly hacked material gradually evolved into pre-weighed and stamped coinage; the foundation of all modern monetary systems.
