Byzantine silver hexagram of Heraclius and Heraclius Constantine
Minted AD 615-30, this is by far the oldest coin in the hoard.

The Cuerdale hoard
The existence of the hoard may have been known long before its eventual rediscovery: a local Preston-Lancashire tradition said that anyone who stood on the south bank of the Ribble at Walton-le-Dale, and looked upriver to Ribchester, would be within sight of the richest treasure in England.
