Interesting Treasure Find in London

The PAS has announced a find of U.S. Double Eagle Gold coins from Hackney, Greater London:

The composition of the find (U.S. Gold coins) and its late date (the last coin was minted in 1913) makes it quite unusual.

It does again also demonstrate that coins "travel."
