SCHOOLGIRL Amber Price had a lucky find yesterday, Wednesday, – one of the rare 20p pieces which could be worth around £7,000.

Amber, from Stroud, was given the coin in change after buying toast at the tuck shop at Archway School.

The coin is one of a new batch produced by the Royal Mint without a date due to an error.

They are selling on eBay for as much as £7,000.

These are the first undated British coins to go into circulation for 300 years.

Amber’s mother Amanda said: "I nearly cried when I found out."
