A rare counterfeit 7th Century coin has been declared treasure – despite the fact it’s a fake.

The coin was reportedly described as a ‘blundered’ counterfeit, with spelling mistakes on the legend on both sides.

According to the BBC, a coroner heard that the coin was an unofficial copy of a gold Merovingian tremissis, originally minted between 630 and 650.
