A rare gold coin found by a metal detectorist and recently auctioned off was minted by a little-known ruler in pre-Roman Britain.

    The name on the coin was “Esunertos,” which can be translated as “mighty as the god Esos,”. The arrival says the coin was recently sold for around £24000

      Damn the inflation. A penny from Esunertos time is worth £24k now

    interesting that it dates to right around the time when Julius Caesar invaded Britain
