[1][2] The hoard was discovered by metal detectorists George Powell and Layton Davies near Eye, Herefordshire, near Leominster in 2015.
[2] The economic value of the hoard has proved difficult to establish, as much of it is still missing and is presumed hidden or sold.
[5] It was reported in December 2022 that the thirty coins which had been recovered were valued at proceeds of crime hearing at Worcester Crown Court at £501,000.
The coin dealers Simon Wicks and Paul Wells were also found guilty under the concealment charge.
[10] Peter Reavill discussed the hoard in an episode of the BBC Radio 4 series The Digital Human on 'Treasures' on 8 March 2021.
