Coins found in Staffordshire farmer’s field declared treasure

The treasure inquest was held by the assistant coroner for Staffordshire, Li Hammond-Naylor, after the find had been declared via the British Museum’s Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS).

The total value of the hoard was five shillings, equivalent to four days pay for a skilled tradesman in 1590.

The modern equivalent would be £41.48.

The acquiring museum will need to raise funds to save the coins for the public to enjoy, with the finder and landowner sharing the money as a reward for finding them, said PAS.
