It was found in an open area south of a Roman building. The first of these seven coins was one of the Agrippa types of Gaius, that circulated with the pre Neronian Claudian coins. The first Claudian coin however, was a provincial Minerva as from Spain (Atelier 1), followed by an imitation of a Libertas from the same mint. There were two Minerva im…

To be published with Bloomberg site, details from J. Bowsher (MOLA):
"This hoard was probably a 'foundation deposit' under the threshold of a bakery building on the west side of the Walbrook. The hoard of eight Minerva coins of Claudius comprised an imitation of a Spanish (Atelier 1) type, three imitations of coins struck at Lyon (Atelier 2) and four are crude 'native' imitations. Numismatic and stratigraphic evidence suggests a date contemporary with Hoard 1 [IARCH-88C596]".
Deposit could date as late as AD 65-70.

De Jersey (2014):
"Lot 280 - containing 265 or 266 coins - was sold to Baldwins for £4 10s. Baldwins seem to have made quite leisurely progress in selling on the coins, and indeed almost sixty years later they provided the CCI with photographs of 71 still in their possession (see below). Presumably by this stage the major portion of the hoard, some 194 or 195 coins, had been sold, and c.33 of these can still be traced. There are undoubtedly many more recorded in the CCI without provenance, but no attempt has been made here to identify these coins unless they can be reliably associ…
