Beginning in July 2022, a remarkable cache of Iron Age coins was unearthed by a metal detectorist in the Dorset parish of Tarrant Gunville, a remarkable group of 31 staters dating back over 2,000 years. This intriguing assemblage, featuring predominantly Chute type gold staters alongside Durotrigian silver issues, offers a fascinating glimpse into Britain’s late Iron Age economy and cultural context just before the Roman conquest.
Fully documented under PAS protocols, the hoard has attracted significant local, national, and international press attention, featuring Silbury Coins’ images and research.
We are now delighted to announce that the coins are available to purchase directly from our website today.
Explore the full story, detailed analysis and stunning images that bring this fascinating discovery to life.
