Object type: COIN HOARD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Dorset
Workflow stage: Published
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.

A group of 12 coins reported found near Evershot, Dorset. All are of silver of the sterling standard, c. 92.5% fine metal, a standard followed in both Scotland and England at this time. 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. Most of the coins are the higher silver denominations of groat (fourpence) and half-groat (twopence). Scottish coins of Da…

Circumstances of discovery: The coins were found separated by a distance of 3 meters, at a depth of 6 inches below the surface of a previously ploughed field. Early and later medieval pottery has been found in the same general area. The identical typology and condition of the coins suggests that they were lost or deposited together at the same time, and the action of ploughing may have contributed to their apparent separation in the ground.
