FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 An archeological fieldworker excavating a site in eastern Newfoundland has unearthed what could be the oldest English coin found in Canada. Research has confirmed it was minted sometime between 1493 and 1499. "It's important because it sparks your imagination," Gilbert said in an interview Wednesday. "You just have to wonder when you look at this thing: how many hands did it pass through?" The coin features a stylized portrait of King Henry VII and a Latin inscription that says, "Henry, by the grace of God, King of England and France." The other side features a cross and the king's motto, also in Latin: "I have made God my helper." S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
