63 Anglo-Saxon Coins from King Burgred's Reign Discovered in Worcestershire
Metal-detecting enthusiasts discovered 63 Anglo-Saxon silver coins in Bickmarsh, Worcestershire, with most minted during King Burgred of Mercia's reign (AD 852-874). Historians believe the hoard was intentionally buried between AD 871-874 to protect it from invading Viking armies. The find is unprecedented, providing rare archaeological evidence for money circulation in medieval England and highlighting the importance of reporting regulations for treasure finds.
