Ex Getrudenstrasse Hoard, found in Cologne in 1909.
The Getrudenstrasse Hoard was found by workmen digging the foundation of a building. It consisted of approximately 15,000 denarii and 150 or so aurei - a sizeable accumulation. Many of the coins of that hoard bear a distinctive colouration similar to that of the Boscoreale Hoard, derived from the decomposition of the original container.
