talking to a mate who inquired how many hammered gold came from the thames and as far as i know not many compared with silver coins .
the major wharfs that were busy back in time yielded a few but not as common as silver hammereds.

it was easier to find a medieval quillon dagger than a gold hammered coin under  the thames foreshore

i would say 2 from queenhithe and 6 from billingsgate docks
