Weston-sub-Edge hoard

The Weston-sub-edge hoard is a Civil War coin hoard comprising 309 coins and a lead pipe container from Weston-Sub-Edge in Gloucestershire, England.

The lead pipe was discovered approximately 2 feet (0.61 m) beneath the ground surface in a pit that had been dug for the building of a stanchion to support the roof.

The pipe contained 309 coins, of which 307 were silver and 2 were gold, and a scrap of paper with writing on it.

There are 6 coins of Edward VI, 3 of Philip and Mary, 107 of Elizabeth I, 36 of James I, and 157 of Charles I.

The hoard was declared as Treasure trove in September 1981 and subsequently acquired by the Corinium Museum.
