Some Scot has been saving it all this time...

One wonders if they payed the finder accordingly being it was 10 years ago.

If you look closely—it’s a little faded—you can even see the inscription, “CCXI A.C.” (211 Ante Christum, “Before Christ”), thus proving its antiquity.

I know where a treasure is located near Sardis, Turkey. Of course it is a hunch. Near Sardis is a temple. The temple is across the highway and down a dirt road. From the temple location you can rock formations, like cliffs. Had the hunch or feeling when I visited there in 1980. There is a treasure, in a tomb placed in those cliffs.

From article:
“The coin would have passed through many hands, he added.”
The find does NOT tell when it arrived in Britain, or who brought it.
It is often learned that trade and travel occurred earlier and of more distances.
