Rare Roman and British coin hoard discovered in Netherlands In the autumn of 2023, two metal detectorists, Gert-Jan Messelaar and Reinier Koelink, unearthed an outstanding hoard of 404 Roman and British gold and silver coins in the Dutch municipality of Bunnik. It is one of the largest hoards of Roman antiquity ever discovered in the province of Utrecht and the first to contain both Roman and British currency on mainland Europe. The coins were confirmed to have been buried around 47 CE shortly after the Roman conquest of Britain. The hoard comprises 288 silver denarii dated between 200 BCE and 47 CE; 72 Roman gold aurei from 19 BCE to 47 CE; and 44 British gold staters struck between 5 and 43 CE...
