Antique expert Gregory Tong said the estimate of the value of the coin is about £ 200,000 - £ 250,000. However, when auctioning this coin with a starting price of £ 225,000, it is expected that the total value that this man could recover could be more than £ 270,000 (about VND 7.4 billion).

"When I told him the value of the coin, he did not believe. He even came to see me twice," shared expert Gregory Tong.
Meanwhile, the coin owner said: "My grandfather traveled around the world and collected coins from countries. He gave me a coin bag to play. When I was a kid, I used coins. That time, the coins seemed to be forgotten until my grandfather passed away and I handed that coin bag back to my son. "
