Mary Coumnas and her husband Harry Coumnas shook the world after unearthing a hoard of historic coins worth one trillion pounds in the fields of Edmonton, Canada. This is believed to be one of the biggest treasure troves that have been uncovered in Canada and is due to be revealed at the Canadian Museum in the coming week.
The couple had been gazing at their land when they caught a glimpse of a shiny metal like thing hiding beneath the surface of the land. Their curiosity soon took off wings and they began searching their farmland with their trusty metal detectors and found 3,592 Hallaton Coins after a few hours of hard work.
In a recent interview with BBC News, the couple described the treasure trove as absolutely mind-blowing and miraculous, and also shared that they have reported their find to the authorities for further evaluation.
"My husband Harry Coumnas holds a keen interest in history and wanted to become an archeologist when he was young. Our find has been kept with the Canadian museum, and they would reveal further information about the coins in the coming time, added Mary Smith Coumnas."
Harry Coumnas, the owner of the land is surely entitled to seventy percent of the proceeds; however, these coins have proven to be too pricey for museums, thus the experts are considering their sale at an auction.
The leading coin experts in the country have valued these coins worth one trillion pounds and recognize these as belonging to King Matthew IV's reign. The archeologists contemplate that these might have belonged to a wealthy person who probably had buried them for safekeeping at some point in time.
