Oldest dug coin in Brisbane?!

A good customer brought in to the Lost Treasures store an Edward 1st hammered coin (1279-1307). Darren Hogarth found it this morning in an undisclosed Brisbane location – taken to Global Coins in Clayfield and confirmed it is authentic. Such a rare find in Australian soil. This takes pre-decimals to the next level, we just have to fill in the 600 year gap!

If anyone has dug an older coin please let us know!
