A gold coin discovered at the site of a medieval fortress in Bulgaria suggests that the people living there during the early Ottoman rule were wealthier than previously thought. The coin, dating back to the 14th century, was found during excavations at the village of Cherven and indicates the use of foreign currency, likely due to a shortage of local gold.
A gold proof version of the iconic Kew Gardens 50p coin is causing a stir on TikTok, with collectors eager to get their hands on this rare piece valued at £7,000. The coin, which was released in 2009 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Kew Gardens, is considered the ‘holy grail’ of coins and has seen its value skyrocket in recent years.
