Bitterley Hoard, Medieval coin hoard in Bitterley, England.
The Bitterley Hoard contains one gold coin and 137 silver coins stored in a leather purse within a pottery vessel called a tyg.
The collection spans from Edward VI to Charles I, indicating burial after 1644 during the English Civil War period in Shropshire.
The discovery exemplifies responsible metal detecting practices, as the finder left the artifacts undisturbed for professional archaeological examination.
Visitors can examine the hoard at Ludlow Museum, where the Friends of Ludlow Museum raised funds for its permanent display.
This assemblage represents the largest post-medieval coin collection found in Shropshire, contained within its original leather purse and ceramic container.
