Possibly the oldest known gold coin in Britain was found in 1849,[5] here near the site of MAGIOVINIUM, a gold stater of the mid-2nd century BC.[6] The British Museum described it as "a superb example of the Iron Age die-engraver's art".[6]
Although known as the "Bletchley" hoards, two coin hoards were also found at or near the site of MAGIOVINIUM, consisting of silver denarii, in 1967 and 1987.
