Abstract
An unusual hoard, spread over an area of approximately 20 m, was recovered by a group of three detectorists from a ploughed field at Stoneykirk, Wigtonshire, in 2019. The total number of coins was either 46 or 47, many of them in sacks fused together, comprising examples of almost every denomination of coin in circulation in Scotland at time of deposition, for which a terminus post quem of around 1518 can be postulated on the basis of the inclusion of a single gold unicorn of James V's first coinage
