De Jersey (2015):
""A few years since a parcel amounting to nearly one hundred coins, in silver and mixed metal, were found near Portsmouth. They, for the most part, resembled those given by Ruding, Plate 3, Nos. 46, 47, 49, 50, 51, 52, and, Plate 2, Nos. 32, 33 and 34. Mr. Cuff, who communicates this, observes, it is worthy of remark, that not one of them has the androcephalous horse."
Akerman 1837, 221 n.26
The records of this hoard are so confused - even by the standards of the early nineteenth century - that it is debatable whether there is a great deal of point in attempting to reconstruct the find. Robinson (1980) has made a valiant effort, but identifies so many uncertainties along the way that the picture is arguably little clearer than the first published comment by Akerman.
At the heart of the matter are nine coins in the British Museum ticketed as "found at Portsmouth in 1830", which formed the basis of Allen's (1960a, 293, 296) summary of the hoard."
De Jersey's account follows with a detailed discussion on the contents of the hoard.
