A Late Fourteenth Century hoard of English and French Jettons. The hoard consists of seven English and twenty four French / Tournai copper alloy jettons, two billon coins, one of Spain the other of Brittany, and three blank discs.
This group of thirty six pieces (plus one other at present separated from the main group) dates from the second half of the 14th century. The loss of these pieces most probably took place within a few years on either side of 1400. The presence of three blank discs suggests that this group may well be part or whole of a working set of counters. The varying…

I have examined 27 coins reported found in the Clitheroe area of Lancashire. All are official English silver coins, and will thus have a silver content of 92.5% fine metal – the sterling standard. A summary list of the coins follows (a more detailed catalogue is attached to this report).
1 groat and 1 penny of Edward III, 4th Coinage (1351-77); 3 pennies of the mid or late 14th century, details uncertain;
1 groat and 6 pennies of Henry V (1413-22); 9 groats; 3 halfgroats; 1 penny and 2 halfpennies of Henry VI, Annulet issue (1422-7)
These coins are evidently a single group …

Four coins reported found on the site of a previous find of similar coins. These coins are all gold doblas of Peter or Pedro I, King of Castile ('Pedro the Cruel'), who reigned 1350-69. All the coins were struck at the Seville mint, the main mint of Castile. They are of good weight and are in generally good condition, with slight indications of wear, so they have seen some currency.
In my report on the previous coins found on the site (December 2005), I made the following comments:
'Gold coins of the 14th century are not frequent finds. We do know from documentary sources that for…

Two medieval silver coins were found whilst searching with a metal detector during October 2008, in the same immediate area as a small dispersed hoard of six coins that was discovered by the same finder in November 2007 (2007T676, recorded at NMS-EA4080).
Description: The two coins are both sterling pennies of Edward I, one a class 3d type of Bristol, the other a class 9b of London. The earlier coin is more heavily worn than the later, which is consistent with the hoard's putative terminal date of c1310.

British Museum Report on Treasure Case 2009 T59 "I have examined 30 coins reported found at North Cave, East Riding. All but one are silver coins of the English Short Cross type, in production 1180 to 1247, mostly full pennies but also with three cut halfpennies (smaller denominations were created by cutting pennies into halves or quarters, to make halfpennies and farthings). The remaining coin is a penny of the equivalent Scottish coinage, struck to the same standards and relatively commonly found in English currency in the 13th century, especially in the north of England. All of the…

Description of find
3 coins in close proximity to one another. All are close in date, two being Watford type pennies of Stephen, the other being an uncertain penny of similar date, probably one of North's uncertain Baronial issues. These almost certainly represent part of a scattered hoard; pennies of this period are very rare as single finds and the presence of three together is best understood in the context of a scattered hoard.

A hoard of fused silver coins, probably Medieval late 12th - 13th century.
Curator's report: I have examined a fused group of coins reported found in Wandsworth, London. There are virtually no details that can be made out, but from the size of the coins and perhaps a couple of visible letters, it appears likely to me that they are late 12th or 13th century silver pennies, possibly of the Short Cross coinage (1180-1247). If this is correct, they would have a silver fineness of over 90%. The weight of the group is 21.45g, suggesting that there might be around 15 coins pres…

Five medieval coins were found in the area. Four are short cross pennies, all of the London mint whilst the fifth coin is a cut short cross halfpenny, also of London. All the pennies are in crisp, barely-circulated condition; apparent wear on a couple of coins being due to areas of flat striking. Three of the pennies are of the moneyer Abel, the other two coins of Ricard. All the pennies are class 5 or 6 issues of John whilst the cut halfpenny is a class 3 or 4 issue of Richard I or John. The similarities of condition, date of striking not to mention the fact that all coins are of Lond…

Felixstowe (nr), Suffolk (2009 T663)
I have examined seven coins reported found near Felixstowe in Suffolk. All are official silver coins of the English kings from Edward I to Edward III, and will have a fineness of the traditional sterling standard, 92.5% fine metal. A detailed list accompanies this report.
There are six pennies and one halfpenny in the group. The latest dates to the 1360s and the older coins are generally reduced to the lower weight standard introduced in 1351, so it is very likely that this is a group deposited togetheron a single occasion. Since there are no…

24 short cross pennies found dispersed over a small area. They belong in the main to Henry III's reign with a few earlier coins being present and almost certainly represent a part of a hoard which has been scattered at some time in the past. A very few other medieval coins were found but these were clearly not associated with this group.

A hoard of debased long-cross pennies/coins, possibly of Edward I (AD 1272-1307). Treasure case No. 2009 T756.
Total weight: 1066gms.
The coins are mostly consolidated; they were originally in a small vessel (recently broken) and have taken on the shape of this vessel in their consolidation. The coins all appear to have suffered some corrosion as they are mostly white in colour. Some coins display a green copper staining showing that some of the silver is debased. From the consolidated mass it is hard to estimate the quantity of coins but there may be c.200-300.

I have examined a group of coins reported found in the Ilam area in Staffordshire. All are official silver coins of the medieval kings of England and will therefore be of the traditional sterling standard, c. 92.5% fine metal. Three denominations are present: pennies, half-groats (twopences) and groats (fourpences). The coins range in date from the early 14th century to the early reign of Henry VI. This range is wholly consistent with 15th century currency, since there was no complete English recoinage after 1279 and older coins, increasingly worn and clipped down to more recent weigh…

I have examined a group of five coins reported found at Waterhouses, Staffordshire. All are official silver issues of the kings of England, specifically Henry V and Henry VI. As such, they will have been made of silver of the traditional sterling standard, over 90% fine metal. The coins consist of two groats (the four-penny coin), two half-groats and one penny, with a collective face value, therefore, of 1 shilling and 1 penny. Their details are as follows.

A group of 10 coins from Coney Weston in Suffolk. All are silver, 9 are English, 8 of King Henry VI and one older piece too worn and clipped to date precisely. There are 5 groats (the four-penny coin) and 4 pennies. The remaining coin is a groat of James I, King of Scots. By his reign Scottish coins were produced to a much lighter weight standard than English ones and were not legally tolerated in England; nevertheless, they did circulate to some extent, as hoards and single finds demonstrate, although their value may have been discounted and this coin, for example, utilised as a half…

Curator's report: I have examined a group of 23 coins reported found at Boltby, North Yorkshire. All are whole or damaged silver pennies of the English kings Edward I, II and III (the coins seem to have been complete when deposited, but have suffered significant damage in the ground). As official English silver coins, they will have been struck to the sterling standard of over 90% fine metal. Most of the coins belong to the penny series introduced by Edward I in 1279 and then struck until the 1330s, with one later coin from the Fourth Coinage of Edward III, issued in 1352-3. (A detail…

The find includes two pennies surviving from the very large penny coinage of the decades around 1300, with the other coins being the larger denominations of groat (4-pence) and half-groat introduced in 1351 in England and 1357 in Scotland. The latest coins present date t…
