West Bagborough Hoard, Roman coin collection at Museum of Somerset, England
The West Bagborough Hoard contains 681 Roman silver coins and 72 pieces of hacksilver discovered in Somerset during October 2001.
The collection dates from AD 337 to 367, with coins minted during the reigns of emperors Constantius II and Julian in locations including Arles, Lyons, and Trier.
The discovery represents one of few mid-fourth-century coin collections in Britain, providing essential information about currency circulation during the Roman period.
The Museum of Somerset in Taunton Castle displays the complete hoard, which was acquired through funding from various organizations totaling £40,650.
Among the coins, 52 specimens are replicas made with copper alloy cores covered in silver sheet, indicating ancient counterfeiting practices.
