Notes: This coin, along with SWYOR-685163 was declared as Treasure (2022 T786).

These coins are types which are likely to have circulated together in the 1st century AD and been subsequently hoarded. A third silver coin, a denarius of Nero (YORYM-1AA93D) was also found in the same area – all three being within 50m of one another – and may have been associated with the group though was a single find at time of discovery and therefore fell outside the provisions of the Treasure Act 1996. 

Conclusion:

In terms of age and as the find contains more than two precious metal coins it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.
