Discovery and description

The hoard was found in Boston Spa in 1848 during the construction of foundations for a new building.[2]

It comprises a ceramic grey ware jar and 172 silver denarii.[1][2] The coins date from 211 BC to the reign of the Emperor Hadrian (AD 119–122). They are, thus, likely to have been deposited in the 2nd-century AD. The hoard was purchased by the Yorkshire Museum in 1880.[2]

Public display

The hoard was loaned to Leeds City Museum in February 2022 as part of their exhibition on coin hoards titled "Money Talks". It was displayed alongside other hoards including the Cridling Stubbs Hoard and the Temple Newsham Hoard.[3]
