Quoting The Guardian, these coins are estimated to be sold for £35,000 or around Rp703 million in an auction. Robert Fooks, an agricultural engineer, discovered the treasure when removing the concrete floor of the kitchen to increase the height of their house ceiling. He found a broken glass ceramic bowl containing over 1,000 coins that are 400 years old. The couple immediately reported their findings to the authorities and the coins were sent to the British Museum to be cleaned and identified.

They realized that if it weren't for the renovation, those coins might have remained hidden under the floor. "One night, I was with the kids and my husband was digging with an axe when he called to say they had found something. He put all those coins into a bucket. If we hadn't lowered the floor, they would still be hidden there. I think the person intended to take them but never got the chance," revealed Betty Fooks.
