In a groundbreaking discovery in Eastern England, archaeologists have unearthed a treasure trove of 321 silver coins, providing new insights into the economic practices of the 11th century. This collection, meticulously preserved in cloth, spans the reigns of three Anglo-Saxon kings, offering a rare glimpse into the currency of that era. The coins, dating from the periods of Harold I, Harthacnut, and Edward the Confessor, suggest a sophisticated economic system, far more intricate than previously understood.
Or maybe: It was hidden from the fiscal and fiat thieves of their times...
Hearing stories of these uncovered hordes is really interesting. And apparently yes, most of them were buried in times of turmoil. There were also lots of hordes buried around AD 400 in England, when the Roman empire was collapsing.
