The discovered coins reportedly date back to when Boudicca, the queen of the Celtic Iceni tribe, launched a rebellion against the Roman Empire, which then controlled much of Britain. Experts estimate that the coins could be worth over £800,000.
A man, aged in his 50’s, discovered a treasure containing ancient Celtic coins while observing birds, according to the Daily Mail.
The treasure happened to be in an urn containing around 1,300 Celtic gold coins, worth up to £650 each, valued at £845,000 in total (around $1mn). The coins supposedly date back to when Queen Boudicca of Britain’s Celtic Iceni tribe launched a rebellion against the Roman Empire.
The man carried all the gold home in two supermarket carrier bags and then reached out to a local coroner’s office. It is now up to the coroner to decide whether the birdwatcher must offer to sell the treasure to a museum or keep it. Whatever the decision is, the man will have to share the rewards with the owner of the field where he found the treasure.
