THE ANGLIAN COINS OF CNUT THE GREAT. B Y H. ALE XAN DER PARSONS. ONG as the reign of Cnut was, extending from  A.D. 1016 to 1035, the large number of types of coins ascribed to it in the standard works on the subject does not appear to be justified by the practice or exigencies of the time, or, on close ana lys is, b y the coins themselve s.
