Hoard

Total number of coins

30

Summary

The hoard comprised a ceramic vessel containing 30 staters, the majority in billon. Blanchet mentions a base gold coin which no other authority does (BN 4395) which may be the result of a mistake while consulting Hucher's plates which include this coin, but with no indication of provenance. The hoard was found by a farmer.
