Each Newsletter we will focus on one particular coin and share it’s unique history. This month Silbury’s own Director, John, shines the light on this special coin. “Such coins were produced at a time of duress, when the King had moved his Capital from London after the Battle of Edgehill…
There is little in the coin world that excites in the way that a newly discovered hoard does. The mystery, antiquity and sheer romance of unearthing a group of coins that have remained in the earth, undisturbed for years, cannot be rivalled…
This story begins on the 1st of January 1873 with the chance finding of three ancient gold coins in Kent, England.
A metal detectorist in Chippenham, Wiltshire, has discovered a hoard of over 570 ‘Tealby’/cross-and-crosslet issue pennies of Henry II – the largest accumulation of these coins to have been found… Read more
Uncovered by four detectorists at ‘Spring Detectival’ in 2019, the Hambleden hoard is one of the largest Medieval English coin hoards to have been recorded in the last decade… Read more
Historic England recently commissioned an audit of museum storage across the country. The result is, that at the current rate of deposition, room for material from developer funded excavations requiring storage will soon be non-existent. Read More

Excavations at the site of Bad Ems on what was the northern Roman frontier have revealed original defensive wooden spike entanglements set within the ditch of a probable 1st century fort. Preserved thanks to waterlogged soil conditions, similar defensive features (known as cippi) are also present at Hadrian’s Wall.
The Sussex Collection
A carefully put together cabinet with emphasis on quality rather than quality. The collector sources his coins from reputable deals and metal detectorists during the late 1990’s through to his last purchase in 2008. The collection consists of Primary, Continental, Secondary and Northumbrian coins. The coins have been off the market from 15 years and are sure to sell quickly given their overall high grade.

*The Standlake Hoard of Boduoc Staters is to be auctioned by Silbury Coins*
This exciting hoard consists of six gold staters of the Dobunnic ruler Boduoc in exceptional condition. Found near the village of Standlake in Oxfordshire on organised metal detecting events during 2023.
The finds were declared treasure and recorded with the Portable Antiquities Scheme and Celtic Coin Index, later disclaimed and returned to the finders and landowner.
This gives private collectors the rare opportunity to secure a high-grade rarity from the Ancient British inscribed series, seldom are coins of this quality found and offered for sale.
These coins will be offered for sale by auction ending at 5pm (GMT) on the 14th December 2024. Bidding is exclusively through Silbury Coins, live on our website, by email or post.
For further information or to receive a printed auction catalogue visit our website (www.silburycoins.com) or get in touch today.
Although new to the auction scene the team at Silbury Coins have been offering the largest selection of Ancient British coinage at fixed prices for many years, director John Philpotts comments ‘with great experience and market knowledge it makes sense for us to handle the auction sale of finds like this, no one is better placed to make a good job of it’.
To discuss selling similar coins get in touch to see what we can offer.
