Notes:

This coin satisfies the various criteria of the Treasure Act. It is more than 300 years old and the find to date comprises more than two coins with precious metal content in excess of the 10% threshold. As a coin of the same date and type, it is likely that it belongs to the previously discovered group of coins from the same site; this find should therefore be considered a third addendum to the 1999-2000 find (bringing the total number of coins discovered so far to 19).
