While carrying out a restoration project at one of German’s most famous Gothic churches, a team of restorers discovered a large and valuable collection of coins, hidden in four sacks that had been stuffed inside a cavity in the leg of a statue approximately 400 years ago. All of the coins were minted in the 17th century, making it clear they had been hidden away sometime during the 1600s.
The coin stash was found inside St. Andrew’s church in the village of Eisleben, which is located in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in Germany. Eisleben is best-known for being the hometown of the legendary Protestant reformer Martin Luther, and St. Andrew’s is famous because it was Luther’s home church near the end of his career.
In total there were 816 coins hidden in the four bags, some of which were gold or silver (the majority where 17th century German pennies, which were worth more at the time than the word “penny” might suggest).
