A hoard is a deliberate collection of valuable objects, often coins and jewelry made from precious metals, grouped together and hidden for various reasons. These hidden treasures provide clues about the people who buried them, their cultural identity, international trade, and the historical significance of these artifacts from over a thousand years ago.
