A remarkable hoard of 2,584 silver coins, dating from the Norman Conquest era (1066-68), was discovered in the Chew Valley area of Somerset, England, by a group of seven metal detectorists in 2019. The collection, valued at $5.6 million, is now Britain's most valuable treasure find and was acquired by the South West Heritage Trust with funding from the National Lottery and Art Fund. The coins, depicting rulers Harold II and William the Conqueror, will be displayed at The British Museum starting November 26, before moving to the Museum of Somerset for permanent exhibition. The proceeds from the acquisition will be shared between the finders and the landowner. This discovery is significant as it provides insights into the transition from Saxon to Norman rule in English history.
