CHILL OUT One Of England’s ‘First-Ever Gold Coins’ Found In Devon xA metal detectorist who found England’s ‘first-ever gold coin’ is celebrating after it sold for a world record of £648,000. Michael Leigh-Mallory unearthed the coin on his first metal detecting outing in 10 years on farmland in Hemyock, Devon, last September. The King Henry III penny, struck in about 1257 by William of Gloucester with gold imported from North Africa, measures just under an inch in diameter. There are just eight of the coins in existence - with most of them in museums - and this one is thought to be the first to be found in 260 years. The discoverer was completely unaware of the coin’s incredible rarity until he posted a picture of it on Facebook and it was spotted by a specialist at Spink auctioneers, London.
