Shakespeare - African Treasure

The treasure features in Radio 4's series, Shakespeare's Restless World. Find out more about the objects and programmes here: http://bbc.in/HetePI

This encounter with African treasure begins not in lands far away but in seas only twelve miles off the coast of Devon. It was here in 1994 that a hoard of Moroccan gold dating from c.1600 was discovered.

This astonishing array of golden riches tells of vast Moroccan wealth. The 450 coins speak of powerful dynasties and of far-reaching trade networks spanning the globe.
