    Found in July 2017 - the Rauceby Hoard is still showing up in recent auctions.

    I purchased a dozen coins from the hoard at the end of 2025 from Leu. My latest post - links the coins the find documentation and provides an overview of the hoard illustrated with the coins from London, Treveri and Lyon. One nice surprise was a plate coin that gives the ability to compare the uncleaned coin from with the cleaned one from Leu.

    I like this London portrait of Maximiannus - "bulbous nose", artistically engraved, and generally well preserved.

    Post your coins from the Rauceby hoard - any Tetrarchy coins with great portraits - or anything else you find interesting or entertaining.
