Archaeologists in Sweden recently made an unusual discovery. They found 45 ancient Roman silver coins, including two believed to be counterfeits.

The discovery was announced by the Swedish Armed Forces earlier this fall.

The coins were unearthed during archaeological excavations ahead of an expansion of Sweden's Gotland Regiment military base, according to officials.
