But the coin was in Newfoundland.

So how does it get to Newfoundland before Cabot.

Did it go via Greenland? Did the English trade or share voyages to Greenland in the 1400s The Irish or Scots would have? Did the Greenland colonies trade with Newfoundland before 1497?

Thats more difficult to answer, my shot in the dark is a lost ship landing in ~1440-1500
