The Silsden Treasure is a notable collection comprising 27 gold coins dating to the late British Iron Age and a Roman iron finger ring.
This treasure was discovered in 1998 by Jeff Walbank, who used a metal detector while exploring a field in Silsden, located in West Yorkshire, England. Following its discovery, the treasure was officially declared a treasure and subsequently acquired by Bradford Art Galleries and Museums in 2000. Today, you can view the Silsden Treasure on display at Cliff Castle Museum in Keighley, not far from the location of its discovery.
The Silsden Hoard consists of 27 gold staters that date back to the first century A.D. Most of these coins were issued by Cunobelin at various points during his reign. There were also coins issued by his brother Epatikk, as well as Korieltauwi coins, all of which were part of this valuable treasure.
In addition to the coins, the hoard also included an iron ring, which is believed to be of Roman origin. This ring features a gem with a depiction of a human figure. The exact circumstances surrounding how the ring became part of the treasure remain a topic of debate among experts and researchers.
