Anglo-Saxon Gold Coin
A very special Anglo-Saxon coin, is more than a thousand years old.
It's made of gold and shows a king called Coenwulf on one side.
Coenwulf was very powerful. He ruled an area known as 'Mercia' to the Anglo-Saxons, a large part of modern-day England, from 796 to 821.
The coin was found near Bedford in 2001 by a metal-detectorist.
It's taken until now for the Museum to raise enough money to buy it.
They had to pay £357,832 - making it the most expensive British coin ever!
Coenwulf's picture, the flower symbol, the inscriptions (letters), even the weight and the way the coin was made are all clues for historians to decipher.
24-karat American Buffalo gold coins
Feature images on one side of an American bison, as on the classic Buffalo Nickel of 1913, and on the other an American Indian.
The 99.99% pure coins for investors and collectors.
Although the face value is $50, the price will depend on the price of gold, plus markups.
Indian Gold Mohur, Queen Victoria
The Mohur was a very old Indian gold coin dating from the 16th century.
When Britain ruled India 300 years later, the name 'mohur' was taken over and used for a British-style gold coin.
It has Queen Victoria's head on one side and a lion and palm tree on the other.
