HOARD
Unique ID: BERK-A67006
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A hoard of debased long-cross pennies/coins, possibly of Edward I (AD 1272-1307). Treasure case No. 2009 T756.
Total weight: 1066gms.
The coins are mostly consolidated; they were originally in a small vessel (recently broken) and have taken on the shape of this vessel in their consolidation. The coins all appear to have suffered some corrosion as they are mostly white in colour. Some coins display a green copper staining showing that some of the silver is debased. From the consolidated mass it is hard to estimate the quantity of coins but there may be c.200-300.
Notes:
This hoard was purchased from a car boot sale in the Vale of the White Horse in 2003 when the pot was still complete. The provenance is unknown, nor is the date of discovery but has been submitted by the purchaser in accordance with Treasure Trove / Treasure Act laws.
