Six 19th Century coins and tokens have been discovered beneath the foremast of HMS Victory.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq8p4yqen0go
The discovery connects directly to a long-standing maritime tradition in which coins were placed beneath a ship's mast as a symbolic act.
The newly discovered coins and token, together with the earlier coin discovered beneath Victory's main lower mast, will go on display in the Victory Gallery at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

On the 20th May 325 AD, the Council of Nicea was convened by Emperor Constantine to unify the early Christian church. Its key actions included formulating the Nicene Creed to define Christ's divinity, condemning Arianism, standardizing the date of Easter, and establishing foundational canon law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea
I don't have a coin specifically commemorating that (does anyone have one they can share?) but here is a coin issued under Emperor Constantine from the same period: https://coinofnote.com/324-329-ad-constantine-camp-gates/

The earliest known Menorah coin
From E-Sylum: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n20.html#article21
Two rare coins dating to over 2,000 years ago have been returned to Israel, following a joint law-enforcement operation between Israel and the United States, the Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement on Tuesday.
One of the coins bears the earliest known depiction of the seven-branched Jewish menorah, along with a showbread table used in the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem. It was minted in bronze in the first half of the first century CE, when the Second Temple was still standing.
The other coin, a 2,500-year-old silver coin most likely minted in the ancient city of Ashkelon, is only the second of its kind known worldwide.

A pair of rare silver coins discovered by metal detectorists in Denmark were meant to offer 11th century Christians a bit of protection against Viking raiders. According to the National Museum of Denmark, only 30 of these silver coins laden with Christian imagery have ever been found.

Today is the feast day of Saint Dymphna: Patron Saint of Those Who Suffer From Anxiety. Depression. Nervous Disorders. Mental Illness.
Born in Ireland in the 7th century, and by 14 consecrated herself to Christ and took a vow of chastity. When her mother died, her father's mental health declined & she fled to Geel, Belgium where she built a hospital. Her father followed her & killed her.
A church was built in honour of her & so many pilgrims arrived in need of treatment for mental ills, that it was expanded. The expanded sanctuary was eventually overflowing again, leaving the townspeople to accept them into their homes, which began a tradition of care for the mentally ill that continues to this day.

On the edge of the Roman Empire and at the end of it, someone was buried with a purse of coins which has proved to be quite an interesting find: https://www.coinbooks.org/v29/esylum_v29n19.html#article24
Grave A-104, was discovered in the 1960s in one of the late Roman cemeteries linked to the coastal fort of Oudenburg. The small objects once carried in the purse could help explain how people in northwestern Europe adapted after bronze coinage ceased arriving around A.D. 400.

Today is the 100th Birthday of naturalist and broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Attenborough
I think we've likely all seen at least some of the well over 100 documentaries he has made and hopefully appreciate the planet we live on and the amazing variety of life we share it with that little bit more because of the knowledge he has shared.
Here is a 2019 £2 coin featuring the Royal Research Ship (RRS) named in his honour. Image of the coin from Numista:
