Reportedly ex circa 1970 Bourton-on-the-Water Hoard.

The Burton-on-the-Water Hoard was discovered by a farmer while plowing his field on 22 March 1970. This hoard of over 3000 coins was primarily composed of folles issued from the western mints during the period circa AD 307-318. Over 80 percent of the issues, though, were from Londinium and Treveri, which included a substantial number of unrecorded obverse legends and bust types.
