This achievement can be acquired in the 6th French mission called The Battle of Patay located in the Hundred Years War campaign. In it, you will recover 14 treasure chests located around the map. They are pretty easy to spot if you follow the roads so no need to check every corner of the map.
The first gold chest can be found behind the archers blocking the road with palings. Take the bridge on the left to avoid the pailings and circle around to get your 1st chest.
The next set of chests can be found in the first crossroad town with a bunch of spearmen and archers. Take care of the infantry first with melee units and archers before getting the gold. Four of the chests are located next to the monastery building on the top left. One more chest is located on the road before leaving this village. Collect all 5 before advancing to the next objective.
Keep heading Northeast to the blockade in the corner of the map. Deal with blockade head down the path until you reach a crossroad. Next to this crossroad, there are two chests by a wagon. Collect these 2.
Next, you will be instructed to take out three regiments. In this guide, I will start with the Eastern (right) regiment. Take out a few enemy stragglers and follow the road North. You will come up to another wagon with two more chests beside it. Pick these 2 chests up after dealing with the regiment.
Following the defeat of the Eastern regiment. Move your forces back South (down) and attack the central regiment from behind. Once defeated, go to the small village the regiment was attacking. You will find two more chests next to four houses. Collect these 2 before moving.
The last two chests will be in the town that is under attack by the final regiment you need to destroy. This is missable if you defeat the army before getting the chest. Swing your forces back South and attack the enemy regiment from behind. They will have swords and archers so you can rush your cavalry into them. While they are fighting take a few units and go to the center of the small village. There will be two final chests here next to some houses.. Collect these 2 before the enemy regiment is destroyed.
After completing the mission, wait for the victory screen to appear with your units parading. The achievement should unlock during this if all 14 treasure chests are found. The gold does not have to be spent. Just as long as all of them are acquired by your units before the mission is completed.

Worked perfectly, thanks. I managed to sneak one of my soldiers into the last village without the regiment spotting me to grab the chests. After about a minute the achievement unlocked, then I destroyed the last regiment.

I was very slow and so the last army already left and I could take the two chests. And my army caught up to the enemy army over the first bridge they cross :). Achievement popped for me in game.
