Ex 2019 Ellerby Hoard (PAS: YORYM-18E848).
In 2019, a couple were undertaking renovations to their eighteenth century home in the village of Ellerby near Hull in North Yorkshire when they discovered a hoard of 266 gold coins in a stoneware vessel under their kitchen floor. The hoard comprised of coins from the reigns of James I to George I. As the original owner of the property where the hoard was found could be traced, the coins were not subject to the usual law of Treasure. The discovery and subsequent sale was widely reported around the world making the Ellerby hoard one of the most celebrated British coin finds of recent years.
