A cache of gold coins dating between 1831-1910 has been uncovered in a field in Northern Germany.
The coins had originally been placed in two separate pouches, of which only the seals now remain.
They were buried under about a metre of earth, around the foot of a tree – but were scattered around the area when the tree was later uprooted.
Of the coins, 128 bore Belgian stamps, while 74 originated in France and 12 from Italy. The final three bore Austro-Hungarian stamps.
