Find spot comment

archeological campaign found 235 coins in hut and garbage pits and garbage heaps, hearth and oven pits, as well as a separate group in a water well and in other traces. Subsequently amateur diggers with metal detectors found in the digging surplus found more coins of which 38 were temporarily made available for determination. The referenced work is short on archeological details but refers to a separate report on the position of the coins in their archeologic context. TBI

Comment

Gennep is located in the North of Limburg, the title is as such incorrect. The report included as complete as possible a determination of all coins available for research, with referrals to RIC and LRBC, and done with the help of JPA van der Vin. A companion report as to the archeological context of the coins does exist according to this report.
