A rare 13th century King Henry III gold penny, found on farmland by an amateur metal detectorist, has sold at auction in London, England, for over three-quarters of a million dollars.
Not only will it go down in history as Britain’s “most valuable single coin find,” but it is also the “most expensive English medieval coin ever sold at auction,” according to a press release from specialist London-based auctioneers Spink & Son.
