The discovery connects directly to a long-standing maritime tradition in which coins were placed beneath a ship's mast as a symbolic act.

The newly discovered coins and token, together with the earlier coin discovered beneath Victory's main lower mast, will go on display in the Victory Gallery at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
