Description: | Two silver groats of Henry VII, both struck at London between 1507 and 1509. Both have little wear and were found within 15 feet of one another. These coins are uncommon as stray finds and the presence of two so close together surely indicates that they comprise part of a hoard lost or deposited in the area and subsequently dispersed by agricultural activity. The lack of wear suggests that loss or deposition took place not many years after the coins were struck, probably circa 1510-25.CatalogueHenry VII, groat, Tower, pheon initial mark (North 1747), 1507-9, weight 2.95gHenry VII, groat, Tower, pheon initial mark (North 1747), 1507-9, weight 2.88gDate: Struck 1507-9; lost or deposited c.1510-25The Treasure Act states that two or more silver coins of three hundred years old or more that were lost or deposited together constitute Treasure. The identical date range of these coins, together with their relative rarity and their recovery from a very small area make it overwhelmingly likely that they all come from the same deposit and so a priori represent a case of Treasure.
