The Wald-Newton Hoard is an assemblage of coins that dates back to the early fourth century AD. This collection comprises 1,857 coins found within a ceramic container. In 2016, it became a part of the Yorkshire Museum's holdings.
Metal detectorist David Blakely discovered this hoard on September 21, 2014, in a field close to Wold-Newton, situated in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
This cache includes 1,857 coins made of copper alloy, with all but one being nummi, while one is a rayon. The nummi coins are all dated between A.D. 294-307, while the radiates are from A.D. 268-270. These coins were discovered within a grayware jug that dates back to the fourth century. The hoard was accompanied by other pottery fragments, including a fragmentary dish and a piece that might have served as a lid for a ceramic jug.
The Wold-Newton Hoard is the largest Roman hoard of its kind ever found in northern England.
After the hoard was officially declared a treasure trove, its estimated value stood at just over £44,200. To secure the necessary funds, the Yorkshire Museum initiated a fundraising campaign in July 25, 2016. This effort garnered support from numerous individuals worldwide, as well as a £10,000 contribution from the Arts Council/Victory and Albert Museum's Hoard Grant Fund, and a donation of £9,981 from the American Friends of the Arts Foundation. The treasure was put on public display on June 1, 2017, at the Yorkshire Museum as part of the York Roman Festival.
