A Roman silver siliquae coin hoard, dating to the period AD 360-363. 4 coins are of the emperor Julian II and one is of Constantius II. Discussion Given the narrow date range of these coins, and the close proximity of their findspots, this group comprises a scattered hoard. The coins contain over 10% precious metal and are over 300 years old. Consequently, in terms of both age and precious metal content, they qualify as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. No. Emperor Reverse …

The earliest coins are from Edward VI’s Third Period, 1550-3, along with two coins of Philip and Mary. Otherwise all coins are of Elizabeth I (…

The coins consist of 393 nummi (including fragments) dating from the period AD317 to AD 333. A number of the coins were incomplete and had the appearance of being cut deliberately rather than through damage; although mechanical damage through ploughing cannot be ruled out it is uncommon in hoards of nummi of this date. The pieces removed from the coins were angular and not circular as in the case of other examples of earlier coins used as a source of blanks for the creation of later forgeries (for example the group from Ancaster, PAS IARCH-E4F519).

2018 T8 I have examined a group of 22 coins reported found in Dorset. All of the coins are official silver issues of the English monarchs Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I and will therefore be of over 90% fine silver. A detailed catalogue accompanies this report. There are two denominations present: the halfcrown and shilling. The face value of the coins in the 17th century was £1 6s 6d, easily a month's pay for a labourer at the time and several week's wages for a soldier in the Civil War.

A group of four silver coins. All are examples of the late medieval English silver penny and will be of the sterling standard, 92.5% fine metal. The two older coins are worn and possibly clipped, which makes it likely that they were in circulation alongside the two later coins, both from the last decade or so of Henry VI's reign (1422-60), a period when the official weight of the penny was 15 grains (0.9g). That the later coins are all from the York mint is typical of the fifteenth century. The group was probably deposited roughly in the period c. 1455 to 1470, when a new weight stand…

These are a group of 4 silver pennies of the Short Cross coinage, a type used for about 80 years though 4 reigns. Their details allow them to be dated more precisely, as set out below. As official English pennies they will have a silver standard of over 90% fine metal. They would have been in currency together in the years around 1210 and it is likely that they represent a single deposit. In the 13th century cut halfs and quarters of Short Cross pennies usually outnumber full pennies in areas of individual coin losses, and a collection of full pennies alone is more likely to represent…

The coins appear to represent the currency of England in the later 1350s and 1360s, when the issues of Edward III's Fourth Coinage had come to dominate over the older sterlings of Edward I and II, although these still represented a large proportion of the penny denomination in use.
