The Wari-Bateshwar Coins: a schoolteacher saved a handful of silver from a labourers' pot and found a lost city

Bangladesh · Hoards

In 1933 labourers digging at Wari, in what is now Bangladesh, found a pot of tiny silver punch-marked coins up to 2,600 years old. A local schoolteacher, Hanif Pathan, saved some of them and spent his life searching the fields, leading archaeologists to a forgotten city.
