Record ID: DEV-BD345C
Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Devon
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A group of five silver coins; 3 groats and 2 halfpennies of Henry VI minted between AD 1422 and 1460.
Discussion: The hoard had a face value of £0 1s 1d in the 15th century.
They are of similar condition, of the same ruler and of two consistent types, and were found near one another with no other finds in the same area, suggesting they were originally a single group. The dating is suggestive of a deposition around the late 1450s or early 1460s, a period of considerable civil strife.
