Ex Peus 417 (2 November 2016), lot 408; 1909 Getrudenstraße Hoard, no. 1503.
The Gertrudenstraße Hoard of approximately 22,500 gold and silver coins, ranging from Claudius to Maximinus I, was found in 1909 during excavation work for the construction of a house on Gertrudenstraße, approximately midway between Wolfstraße and Neumarkt in Cologne, Germany. Many of the coins from this hoard exhibit a distinctive coloration similar to that of the Boscoreale Hoard, derived from the decomposition of the original container.
