NS 506677. In 1963 a hoard of 674 silver sterling and fractions of late 13th/early 14th cents was found in a green-glazed jug at Renfrew. There were 479 English, 151 Scottish and 43 Irish coins and one Continental denier. The two latest items are English coins of Fox Group XVa, previously placed in the period 1317-23. It is now suggested that Group XVa can be more closely dated to 1320-1. If so, the presence in the hoard of newly minted coins of Robert Bruce (several of them die-linked) would indicate that his coins began to be minted shortly before 1321. This is the main numismatic significance of the hoard. It seems to have been a "savings" hoard, accumulated mostly about 1300, with few later additions. There is an unusually high admixture of halfpence and farthings, and the proportions of Scottish and Irish to English coins are also unusually high. Interesting rarities are discussed and illustrated. ASR | ||||
