The touring free exhibition, which is being supported by law firm Benest and Syvret, is due to start this evening at 6 pm in Grouville, where the hoard, which has come to be known as Le Câtillon II and is estimated to be worth millions, was discovered.
Items from the hoard are due to be displayed for a month in each parish hall over the next year.
Organisers hope that this will give as many Islanders as possible the opportunity to view some of the Iron Age coins and to find out more about the story behind the hoard.
Metal detectorists Reg Mead and Richard Miles unearthed the ancient trove, which contained around 74,000 coins, as well as gold and silver jewellery, in June 2012, ending a 30-year search for the treasure.
The duo are due to attend this evening’s exhibition launch along with Olga Finch, Jersey Heritage’s curator of archaeology, and Neil Mahrer, the museum conservator. Since the discovery, Jersey Heritage conservators, archaeologists and volunteers have carefully unpicked and studied the hoard, which had lain buried for 2,000 years, with the world’s media and public taking huge interest in the project.
Mrs Finch said Jersey Heritage was delighted that a selection of the silver coins from the hoard would be touring the Island, parish by parish.
‘We’d urge everyone to come along and find out who might have buried the hoard and why, as well as the remarkable story about how it was discovered,’ he said.
Ancient gold torques and silver coins, as well as gold and silver jewellery excavated from the hoard, are currently on display at La Hougue Bie Museum, some of which are due to form part of the pop-up exhibition.
Grouville Constable John Le Maistre said that he thought it was ‘very fitting’ that the tour was due to begin in the parish where the hoard was discovered.
‘I hope people will take the chance to see the display when it is in a parish hall near them,’ he added.
