Primus Brexitus! - £100,000 gold coin from the first British exit from Europe discovered near Dover
A lucky detectorist has struck gold after finding
a stunning Roman Aureus of self proclaimed Emperor Allectus, who briefly ruled an independent Britain after it broke away from the Roman Empire in the late 3rd century AD.
The detectorist found the coin last month near an old Roman road from the seaside town and after notifying the British museum it can now be sold.
The incredibly well preserved coin is in mint condition looking as fresh as it did when lost over 1700 years ago.
