The coins were not discovered in or near a container and it is possible that they were stored in something like a bag which has since perished. Unfortunately the hoard cannot be associated with any particular architectural feature - they were simply lying on the ground when found. The small size of the find suggests it was the property of an individual who may have been using them as 'current coin', a suggestion which is supported by th…

The coins were found scattered over an area of several square yards and there was no trace of any container; it is likely that the coins recorded here do not constitute the whole hoard.

When the old White Swan was being reconstructed at Stony Stratford, the workmen came across a jar full of gold coins - all Roman - and unquestionably of great value. Nothing was said at the time but one of the workmen subsequently became very prosperous. A year ago (1950?) the sole survivor of the party showed me the last gold coin he had kept. It was a beauty - as large as a florin, and as clear as when it was minted.' Sir Frank Markham, The Nineteen Hundreds, Hillier & Sons, Buckingham, 1951, p. 97. There must be doubt as to whether these coins were in fact Roman, since the one seen…
