Order THE BRUSSELS HOARD ‘LONG CROSS’ STERLING SILVER LONDON PENNY today - yours for just €415! (Plus €4.95 P&P)

An original coin from the largest hoard of buried coins ever discovered!

In 1908, workmen demolishing an old tavern in the centre of Brussels made an extraordinary discovery beneath the tiled kitchen floor - about 150,000 medieval silver coins.

The coins were buried around 1265 AD, but we still do not know who owned them and why they were hidden. No records have ever been found that reported the silver fortune missing, and this has become one of the enduring mysteries of the Brussels Hoard.

In 1247, English pennies were issued with a new anti-tampering design to make it easier to detect ‘clipping,' the practice of illegally trimming metal from the edge of the coin. The voided long cross design extended to the edge and revolutionised medieval coinage.

A genuine medieval penny, struck in London in the thirteenth century.

Certified by NGC as belonging to the record-breaking Brussels Hoard.
