Incredible 2,300-year-old Roman coin emblazoned with the face of 'the first Brexiteer' sells for £550,000 at auction after being spotted by an amateur metal detectoris

Emperor Allectus took Britain out of the Roman Empire during his reign in 293AD

Of course its a nice find and well done to the finder and the land owner should/will get 50/50 of the money,but the daily Mail really does gets its facts and headings wrong they mention its a 2300 year old coil but the actual coin is dated about 293AD.Still a nice find though
