A remarkable collection of Roman coins found in a Swiss orchard, one of the largest archaeological finds of its kind.
A Swiss farmer discovered the ancient coins many months ago in Ueken, a small town in northwestern Switzerland.
The coins were removed from circulation shortly after they were issued, but archaeologists estimate that at the time they were worth between one and two years’ wages.
The coins, composed of bronze and silver components, have been remarkably well preserved in the ground.
“The owner must have deliberately chosen these coins to treasure,” Swiss coin expert Hugo Doppler told Swiss Radio and Television.
“He will probably receive remuneration for his discovery,” he told Agence France-Presse, “but the objects found belong to the public, according to Swiss law.”
The coins will be displayed at the Vindonissa Museum in Brugg, which specializes in Roman history, in the Swiss canton of Aargau.
