Total number of coins

Summary

Two groups of coins, discovered in May 1989 while metal detecting on building ground at Elphinstone Road, Hastings. The first group of coins (92 bronze coins, Nero - Hadrian) were found with the remains of a pot and the second group (52 denarii found 'in a lump', with 7 later addenda, Republic - Hadrian) was about 12-14 meters away from the first. This may suggest successive deposits, but they were treated as one find at the time. They have been split here. This record is for the silver coins.
