Treasure lost and found: The Hackney Hoard
Special display from 29 November
A rare chance to see this gold coin which was part of a hoard unearthed in a Hackney garden in 2007. The discovery revealed the amazing story of the Sulzbacher family fleeing Nazi Germany, losing almost everything, and finally having this treasure returned more than 70 years later.
The hoard is an extremely rare case of 'Treasure Trove' law, as most hoards are never traced to their original owners.
The Sulzbacher family have kindly donated one to the Museum where it is now on display. To find out more see The Hackney Hoard in Collections Online.
