The Dereham Hoard of some 1049 Roman silver coins was found in 2004 by metal detectorists Pat & Sally Buckley. The hoard was buried in a greyware pot during or shortly after AD 240 during the reign of the Roman emperor Gordian III. Here it remained until disturbed by ploughing in the early 2000’s.
The hoard is unusual not only for its size but also for its terminal date. Most of the hoards found in Britain were much earlier, generally dating from the end of the 2nd century.
Silbury Coins has a selection of coins available from this fascinating hoard now on our website, along with further research.

Celtic coins, particularly those found in Britain, offer fascinating insights into the art, culture, and beliefs of ancient Celtic tribes. One particularly intriguing example is the Norfolk Wolf gold stater.
The Norfolk Wolf stater is a gold coin attributed to the Iceni tribe, who inhabited the region of modern-day Norfolk, England. It exemplifies the artistry, symbolism, and wealth of the Iceni tribe, offering a glimpse into their world before the Roman conquest and is highly prized among collectors and historians for its rarity and the insight it provides.
