Examined by the British Museum, 115 coins were accessioned into the national collection, whilst the remaining 293 were disclaimed and sold at public auction where Lobel acquired the balance en bloc for £4,000 [HP]. All lots are provided with the British Museum hoard number, RIC reference and metric weight.
Estimate: £10 - £20
