The coins, which are about 2000 years old, were discovered at Sedgeford in north west Norfolk. The 18 coins which show a horse on one side, were found stuffed inside a cow bone after it was x-rayed at a hospital.

A number of loose coins were also found at the Sedgeford site.

Chris Mackie, co-director of the Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project, said: "The find of a hoard of coins in bone is absolutely unique."
