Vikings

Thanks. The Vikings were a practical lot. Their trading brought them to many other sources of currencies this they see little need for their own unless as a symbol of authority and legitimacy to rule.

Magnificent coin! Hard to find and when appears, expensive! Congrats!

There are some Vikings hoards in Baltic that are found some islamic dirhans of Al-Andaluz. This shows how much the Viking trade was expanded and established between the VIII and X centuries on Western Europe.

 

Thanks. These are fairly scarce and delicate.. good condition ones are pretty hard to find.

Just had to have an artefact representing the Vikings.. given their significance and impact I history.

 

Beautiful coins! I had no interest in Viking coinage, but must say I would now like to own one

 

Great coin @Loong Siew I would love to have one of those. Lately I have been adding quite a few hammered coins.

 

Thanks @ancientcoinguru .... these are not the most artistic coins but i collect it because of its association with the Vikings..

 

Thanks @Orfew .. your hammered coins revolved around the British ?

 

Mostly English but I have a few French coins as well. The ones that have appealed to me lately are the Anglo-Gallic coins.
