Massive medieval coin hoard worth about 150 sheep' discovered
How It Works UK
|Issue 195
Archaeologists in Germany have unearthed over 1,500 medieval silver coins after a citizen noticed what looked like ‘small metal plates’ while digging during a construction project.
The discovery “is the biggest treasure since 1949 in the region of Freiburg,” said Andreas HaasisBerner, an archaeologist at the State Office for Monument Preservation in Stuttgart. The find, which was made in May while workers laid pipe near a pool in the municipality of Glottertal, bears clues to what the mining and minting trades looked like in the area 650 years ago.
