Tregwynt Hoard, Civil War coin collection in Pembrokeshire, Wales
The Tregwynt Hoard contains 33 gold coins, 467 silver coins, and a gold ring discovered during tennis court construction in 1996.
The collection includes currency from multiple English monarchs, including Henry VIII, Edward VI, Philip and Mary, Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I.
The coins originated from seven different emergency mints operated by royalists during the Civil War, demonstrating the complex monetary system of the period.
The National Museum Wales in Cardiff maintains and displays this collection, which represented £51 9s when buried, equivalent to fifty soldiers' monthly wages.
A gold ring in the collection bears the inscription 'Better death than false of faith', connecting personal sentiment to the turbulent Civil War period.
