Description: | The numismatic collection covers all periods from the Iron Age to the very recent past, with emphasis on the coinage used in Norfolk. It comprises most notably 40 coin hoards, as well as English and foreign coins and bank notes, coin impressions, moulds for casting, coin weights, forged coins, tokens, jettons, maundy money and commemorative and awarded medals. Iron Age material is mainly represented by hoards and also includes rare coin moulds. The Roman coinage is also mainly represented by hoards, which reflect periods of unrest in Roman Britain. The Saxon period includes in particular one of the definitive Late Saxon hoards, from Morley St. Peter, Norfolk.
Over 350 individuals and organisations found and collected the objects that make up the collection and over 1000 organisations and individuals contributed to the collection. Many of the coins are not individually identified and this presents volunteering opportunities.
