The coins underneath are Roman and about 1700 years old, but the one on the top is a Celtic Potin which dates to about 50 BC. These are amongst the earliest coins used in Britain. They were made of cast bronze and cast in strips then snapped off the strips. This one was cast by the Canti Tribe of Kent and shows the head of their god Apollo on the obverse (shown).
