Shakespeare - African Treasure



The treasure features in Radio 4's series, Shakespeare's Restless World. Find out more about the objects and

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.
