Yorkshire couple find rare hoard of 17th-century coins belonging to Hull merchant family beneath the floorboards of their home

The haul of 264 gold coins discovered in the village of Ellerby, near Hull, has been valued at £250,000 by London auction house Spink & Son.

The owners of an 18th-century property were relaying their kitchen floor in 2019 when they made the incredible discovery inside an earthenware can buried under the concrete.
