The South African Krugerrand Hoard
In 2020, a rare hoard of 50 modern South African Krugerrand 1 oz solid gold coins was stumbled upon in a garden in Milton Keynes, England.

The coins were minted in 22 carat gold by the Rand Refinery in Germiston, South Africa in the 1970s during the apartheid period. How they ended up in Milton Keynes is a mystery.
It’s estimated that each coin is worth between £1,500 ($2k) and £2,000 ($2.6k). The fate of the coin trove currently remains unknown. It's unclear if they were declared treasure, though The British Museum has attempted to track down the original owner or heirs.
