Middleham Hoard, Civil War coin collection in Middleham, England
The Middleham Hoard contains 5,099 silver coins distributed across three ceramic pots, discovered through metal detection in Cotescue Park grounds.
Dating from the 1640s during the English Civil War, the collection includes currency from Edward VI through Charles I, along with Spanish, Scottish, and Irish coins.
The mixed composition of coins, including 245 Spanish pieces, demonstrates the financial connections between England and continental Europe in the 17th century.
