Two nearly 2,000-year-old silver coins from the Roman Empire have been found on Gotska Sandön. The findings are considered very unusual.

There are two Roman denarii that were found during excavations at Säludden this March, Forskning.se reports. One explanation could be that the coins ended up there after a shipwreck.

At Säludden, there must have been a fishing village from the Middle Ages until the 17th century, and pottery and iron tools have previously been found at the site.
