Age and metal-content
These three silver coins were found in close proximity to one another and are all silver denarii of Trajan (produced AD 98-117). It is therefore likely that they were deposited together in antiquity as all or part of a small coin hoard.
In terms of their age and number they satisfy the criteria of the Treasure Act. As the coins contain well in excess of the 10% precious metal content, this group should be considered as a prima facie case of treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996).
