Carl Friedrich Evers and the Essay on Coins in a Wendish Burial Mound He Wrote for Posterity

Cover of monograph Carl Friedrich Evers and the Essay He Wrote for Posterity by Donald S. Yarab

Pleased to have completed a translation of Evers’ 1785 essay, which still appears in scholarship today. Although Evers missed the mark in his attribution of the coins to the Wends, he was nonetheless one of the earliest to attempt a scholarly treatment of the coins now known as Randpfennige or cross denarii and certainly amongst the first to illustrate the coins.
