The Unexpected Side of Old Coins

Coins seem like such a simple object. Even an old coin that is almost 2000 years old or an unfamiliar coin from another country should be easy to understand as we know how coins work and what they are for? Not always so, says archaeologist Barry Crump who will explain how this does not take into the account the complexity of objects and object use for even the simplest of objects.

Join Barry as he explores the more unusual and unexpected ways people have made and used coins from the Roman period onwards.
