Comment

Clay pot with gold coins found during works in the courtyard of a tavern called At the seven stars. The pot was broken upon discovery. A number of coins went missing right after discovery, it is presumed that the owner of the property where the hoard was found kept about 20 of them, most likely the finder himself kept some as well.
