Ex Gibraltar Hoard.

The Gibraltar hoard was first announced by Ian Carradice in an article published by the Numismatic Circular in 1980, and subsequently published in a supplementary article of December 1984 and later by Carlo-Maria Fallani in 1986. Carradice reported that over 200 coins from the hoard had been seen together in the late 1960s and of which 150 remained together as of the late 1970s, numerous had appeared in trade. The hoard was believed to have originated in southern Spain, perhaps in Gibraltar or the immediate vicinity (Fallani), although the exact date of the find is unclear.
