Collector's hoard of nearly 200 rare Roman and Greek coins dating back 2,500 years is found in the back of dusty drawer at Scotney Castle

    The unique hoard of 186 coins came from as far away as China and Syria
    Hoard was found by volunteers searching for photographs at Scotney Castle
    Collection was amassed by Edward Hussey III and son Edwy in the 19th century
    It includes Greek coins from the seventh century BC and Roman coins from the late second century BC
