The Hoard consists of 1,368 Iron Age and Roman gold and silver coins, which were gathered into a pot and buried in the ground in the Leigh and Bransford area of Worcestershire. The Hoard is one of the most important archaeological discoveries in Worcestershire in the last 100 years.

Most of the coins are silver denarii, minted in Rome and dating from the time of the Roman Republic in 157 BC up to the reign of the emperor Nero (AD 54–68). The sole gold coin is an Iron Age stater, which was minted for the local British tribe, the Dobunni, in AD 20–45 who were in the area now known as Worcestershire and neighbouring counties to the south and west. It is likely that the pot that contained the coins was made at one of the pottery kilns based at the foot of the Malvern Hills.

The coins almost certainly entered the region by means of the Roman army. Their sheer number means that the hoard would have represented a very considerable sum of cash at the time it was buried. One theory is that the hoard represents the savings of a wealthy local farmer, who made his money by supplying the Roman army with grain and livestock.
