A rare gold coin from the reign of Charles I is expected to fetch £200,000 at auction next week.
The historic Triple Unite, which is more than 370 years old, was struck prior to the English civil war. The £3 coin was stolen in an armed robbery in 1974, but it was later recovered. It is believed to have been crafted around 1630 by Abraham Van Der Dot, who was the Dutch medallist to Charles I.
The coin will go under the hammer at Baldwin's Auctioneers, part of Noble Investments, in London on Tuesday September 26.
