It is already included in <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hoards_in_Britain> and there is one picture on Commons already (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_gold_double-eagles_from_Hackney.jpg), but I saw that a picture of the hoard in a jam jar was uploaded to flickr a couple of days ago (http://www.flickr.com/x/t/0185003/photos/finds/5621551085/). Personally, I don't think that it is notable enough for an article (no archaeological, historical or numismatic significance), which is why I didn't make an article for it at the time it was discovered.
