The money has been released by the Treasury department from the States central contingency fund the projects.

After a preliminary valuation of the Celtic coin hoard, found in Grouville last year, £738,000 has been provided to help restore and separate the ancient silver money that is also mixed with gold and silver jewellery.

The treasure has been claimed by the Crown, but the States will have the opportunity to buy back the find mirroring the approach used in the UK under the Treasure Act.
