It’s a mystery which has spanned two millennia... How a coin dating from 200BC was discovered in a back garden in Suffolk.
It has the head of an eagle on one side and on the other the portrait of Zeus Ammon, a version of the Greek god worshipped in ancient Egypt.
It was found by 87-year-old Peter Cutts while he was digging in the garden of his Wissett cottage 20 years ago and mystery still surrounds how it was brought more than 2,000 miles to this county.
