The researchers’ initial hypothesis about such an accumulation of coins in one receptacle is that the money could have been destined to pay imperial taxes or the army. […]

They were probably minted in the East and all have been called Fleur de Coin (essentially a perfect coin): they have not circulated and therefore do not present any wear.

To pay the Army, OK, since the State would get the coins from wherever it's most convenient. But to pay taxes, one would expect a local collection.

 

I just found out this story is actually eight years old !!

Story is eight years old. Archeological finds can be regulated by laws. If it was found in Spain, you won't see them distributed all around the world. “The coins, which are now in the Archaeological Museum of Seville awaiting the necessary reports to determine their value…”. So they are in Seville museum.

 

As some curator said, sooner or later all the things end up in his museum. Even when they are temporally in other museum.
