   The hoard was found during #excavations ahead of the construction of a factory, reported #TheAsahiShimbun, a newspaper in Japan. Only 334 of the coins have been examined so far, with the oldest one originating from #China and dating to 175 BC & most recent coin dating to AD 1265, the newspaper reported.
