WARSAW — A construction worker in a southwestern Polish town uncovered a medieval treasure pot, and other residents found out and scooped up some of the gold coins, Polish television reported.
The 14th-Century treasure found in Sroda Slaska is worth an estimated $6.9 million and consists of more than 1,000 gold coins minted in Prague and Gdansk as well as a gold crown encrusted with precious stones, the report said.
The valuables apparently were hidden in the 1340s, according to the national evening television news Wednesday.
