From the Prof. T.R. Gurr Collection. Ex Sotheby's (30 March 1973), lot 43 (part of); Burton-on-the-Water (Gloucestershire) Hoard (1970).

The Burton-on-the-Water Hoard was discovered by a farmer while plowing his field on 22 March 1970. This hoard of over 3000 coins was primarily composed of folles issued from the western mints during the period circa 307-318 AD. Over 80 percent of the issues, though, were from Londinium and Treveri, which included a substantial number of unrecorded obverse legends and bust types.
