Among the most probable of theories is that the coin dropped out of a miner's pack as they walked along the Aboriginal trail on the way to the Hodgkinson gold fields west of Cairns. Late 19th Century miners often carried mementos or trinkets, including ancient coins, with them when they emigrated to Australia. Oh look what they say at the end of the article. Huh. Well, that seems a lot more likely than an ancient Egyptian crossed the ocean and half an inhospitable continent to drop a coin and leave no other traces of his existence.

I could see the coin making it’s way to the Orient then down th Malay Peninsula then on to Indonesia or New Guinea then to Australia.
Sort of a valuable that everyone knew was worth something and being used in trade. Eventually making it’s way to wherever.
Probably a modern hoax tho.
