• Metal detectorist Andy Hall, 55, found the coin during a trip to Wiltshire farmland
• However, experts and scholars questioned the authenticity of the silver penny
• Tests have now shown it consistent with coins of the time and 95 per cent silver
• The penny depicts Ludica, who ruled Mercia for just one year from 826–827 AD
• Its existence proves that old London did not fall to the West Saxons until 827 AD
