Comments notes:
Lord Holland (1733-1840) was Chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster at the time the hoard was discovered. The coins forming this group came to him through his position and passed with other items in this sale after his death, to William 'Edgar' Doggett, the librarian at Holland House. They appeared at a Canterbury auction sale in 2009, offered then by a descendant of his.
