“When I first heard about the collection, I was in disbelief,” said Vicken Yegparian, vice president of numismatics at Stack’s Bowers Galleries.

The James III hoard has been put into the British numismatics journal, which charts the best finds in the country.

Ilan Hadad, a numismatics investigator and archaeologist with the Israeli Antiquities Authority, called the coin “a national treasure” that “has strong religious and political symbolism to Jews and Christians around the world.”

"We do not know for certain why they were buried there, and why nobody ever came back to find them," says Kat Baxter, Leeds Museums and Galleries' curator of archaeology and numismatics.

Some numismatics experts also suggested that younger generations may reinvest in coin collection.
