MUSEUM TO EXHIBIT SHREWSBURY ROMAN COIN HOARD
According to this BBC news article, a hoard of Roman coins uncovered by a metal detectorist is to go on display at a new museum.
-Editor
The hoard of more than 9,000 coins was discovered by a metal detectorist in a field near Shrewsbury in August 2009. The coins, found in cloth bags within a clay pot, are believed to have been buried almost 1,700 years ago. Shropshire Council said the collection was being photographed and catalogued before it is put on display later in the year. They are expected to be exhibited in Shrewsbury's new Museum and Art Gallery at the former Music Hall. The coins were officially declared treasure in 2011.
