Archeologists at a Colony of Avalon dig site uncovered a Scottish Sword and Sceptre gold coin dated 1601. The 22-karat coin was worth six pounds, weighs about 5 grams, and was discovered in an area of the dig believed to be from the earliest years of the colony.
A news release by The Colony of Avalon Foundation said it is the first ever whole gold coin found at the dig site, located at the southern shores of Ferryland, Newfoundland.
