Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Notes:

These coins were reported as part of Treasure Case: 2010 T474 however as the group has the appearance of an accumulation of losses from different periods over the course of the third, fourth and possibly into the fifth century AD, it spans a wider period than is likely for a hoard and contains a mixture of denominations. As such, these coins do not appear to constitute Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 which require that coins must be from the same find.
