| Abstract: | A hoard of twenty eight very worn silver coins were discovered by workmen in the Eastern Lammermuirs. The majority could not be identified, however, there were a few coins of William III and George II. A second hoard found near Banff consisted of 215 silver and 172 bronze coins originally contained in a gin bottle. Many of these were also unidentifiable and it is argued both hoards reflect the poor state of Scotland's currency at the time. | ||
