The treasure was determined to be from the 14th century. Experts at the British Museum stressed that the discovery of these rare gold coins, called nobles, was particularly important because only 12 more known examples of these coins have been found so far.

The coins are believed to have been buried by their owner, possibly a local official or priest. Dr Barry Cook, a medieval coin specialist at the British Museum, explained that “people always hide their money because there is no bank” and that the owner of the hoard is most likely not super-rich because such people usually do not keep their money. .
The hoard was discovered in the village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, in April 2019, and it took several years for experts to identify the coins. In total, 12 medieval gold coins and 616 silver cents were discovered, giving a fascinating insight into the currency and economic system of the time.
