Oh yes the Brits have found one too! I think we have covered them all now. All we need now is a picture from the catalogue of a replica coin producer!

I would love to know who made these coins, and where they came from.

Many more now being reported in Europe. What's more analysis shows that they are a copper-zinc alloy(brass) which would rule out any Celtic source. 95% chance
that they are indeed fantasy pieces. There will always be 5% who believe in a miraculous find.
