Brit finds treasure worth £250k coin in son's TOY BOX

An 18th-century gold coin worth up to £250,000 has been discovered in a child’s pirate treasure collection.
The rare Queen Anne Vigo five guinea piece was given to the anonymous owner by his grandfather when he was a child.

The coin was kept in a toy box for pirate games and the owner had no idea of its value.
It was packed away and forgotten about until his grandad died when he rediscovered the coin and gave it to his own son to play with.
