Discovered in 1911 during plowing at Black Hill, the famous Black Hill Hoard ranks among the most important early 20th-century finds of English medieval silver coins.

Buried in the late 13th century, the deposit preserved a substantial group of exceptionally well-preserved pennies, providing scholars with invaluable evidence for the circulation, chronology, and dies of Henry III's reformed coinage. Since its discovery, coins from the hoard have been highly regarded for both their historical importance and their outstanding state of preservation.
