Reply to comment by Kjartanski in 600-year-old coin may be oldest found in Canada by IslandChillin

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?
