A "very rare" Edward III gold coin lost in the wake of the Black Death has been found by a metal detectorist.
The 23-carat leopard was discovered with another gold coin, called a noble, near Reepham, Norfolk.
Finds liaison officer Helen Geake said the leopard was withdrawn within months of being minted in 1344 and "hardly any have survived".
She said the coins were equivalent to £12,000 today and would have been owned by someone "at the top of society".
The leopard - which has never been found with another coin - was discovered with a "rare" 1351-52 Edward III noble.
