Reportedly from the Brussels Hoard.

The Brussels hoard was discovered in 1908 by workmen demolishing an old tavern in the Rue d'Assaut, near St. Gudule. A large cauldron containing about 150,000 coins was found under a cistern in the kitchen. Of these coins, around 81,000 were British and were sold in one lot to A.H Baldwin.
