Looking for an old coin value is very popular but a new monster gold coin has triggered debate over old coin values as the new gold coin is the size of a large pizza!

Coin pricing websites will struggle to place a value on this rare gold coin which is 53 centimetres (21 inches) in diameter and over 3 cm (1.2 inches) thick which makes comparison rather difficult compared to the traditional rare and antique Roman coins which many collectors cherish.

Other coin collectors may be more receptive as it highlights the fine art of coin collecting and may entice more people to take up this interesting hobby and even trade coins.
