And finally... wild

A rare ‘leopard’ coin found by Norfolk detectorist is expected to sell for £140,000 at an upcoming auction.

The florin coin dates from January 1344 and was minted in 23-carat gold at the Tower of London.

It had a face value of three shillings or 36 silver pennies and was in circulation for only seven months before it was withdrawn, The Guardian reports.
