TY - JOUR AU - George Macdonald PY - 1911/11/30 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Note on a Hoard of Silver Coins found in Kirkcudbrightshire JF - Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland JA - PSAS VL - 45 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.9750/PSAS.045.569.571 UR - http://journals.socantscot.org/index.php/psas/article/view/7231 AB - The coins had been concealed in a wooden " brose-cap," or bowl. A total of 2067 coins were recovered including Scottish long cross pennies, pennies of Edward I and II, foreign sterling, a half penny of Edward I and a farthing of Edward I or II. One of the Alexander III pennies was very curious. It had been a plated piece, and was represented only by the thin skin of silver which had framed the reverse, and which survived virtually uninjured. The hoard was deposited around 1320 AD. ER -
