Comment

Coins were dispersed over large grassland area and dug up at night, possibly because the owner of the land was not to know. Description finding place vague. Roymans & Sprengers relate the sold coins to VLOOTBEEK 2009 hoard because op apparent similarities, but coins could not be examined before or after sale. According to the finder no gold coins were found.
