A rare gold coin dating back to the 15th century and worth £15,000 ($18,000) has been unearthed by an amateur treasure hunter - who thought it was a bottle top.
The prized coin was made during the brief 86-day reign of King Edward V who was murdered in the Tower of London.
Brian Biddle, 64, found the Angel coin using a metal detector in a farmer's field where it had laid undisturbed for 533 years.
