a 1703 Queen Anne coin worth up to £375,000. It has a ‘Vigo’ stamp that was put there to mark that it was struck from gold off Spanish galleons seized at the Battle of Vigo Bay in October 1702.......how cool!

You can buy other 'silver' Vigo coins for a lot less (if like me you can't afford the gold!).

I've managed to get a reasonable Vigo Halfcrown - which goes nicely with the 'Lima' George II half crown I have.
