We think that they have been in a small bag, the usual purse at that time. Either it was lost or someone has buried it. The coins started to patinate and sticked together, after some years the bag was gone and the coins still sticked together.
I found the tower in the middle of a field, it?s a little wonder that although the field was plowed again and again that the coins did still stick together. In mediaval times there was a little village in that area.
In fact i am pretty sure that it was a lost purse. In that time the 10 Denar were round about the daily income of a craftsman. For about 1 Denar you have get one bread, for about 2 Denar you got 1 liter wine, a chicken costs about 3-4 Denar at that time. So in fact the whole amount is not soooo much that you would hide it somewhere.
