Unique ancient coins found in Turkey!
The unique ancient coins were found in the Turkish province of Kars.
And they were discovered by accident – a worker of one of the firms who was making a tunnel to support the power lines in the village of Chiaras discovered it.
The coins depict the face of Jesus Christ. In total, 44 coins were found and they are assuming that they are from the Middle Age period. A local gendarmerie was notified of the valuable find. Now, the coins are sent to the archaeological museum of Kars for more detailed study.
