[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4291843, member: 15481"]I’m really happy to hear that there are young people like you that have these interests. By the time you get to my age, you will have a great collection of both coins and knowledge, if you keep it up:) You may find something interesting on the home page of the historical museum: [URL]https://www.khm.uio.no/english/[/URL] or my local archaeological museum: [URL]https://am.uis.no/?lang=en_GB[/URL] Norwegian medieval coins are very rare, and very expensive. Danish coins from the Viking age are more affordable, but still expensive. Metal detector enthusiasts here don’t find many Viking coins. The coins they find most often here from that age, are sassanid drachms. If they are lucky, they may find a sassanid imitation with rune-like letters, leading them to believe that it has been made locally. The vikings were bandits, you know. They prefered to steal coins, not to produce them. :D If you want to get the feeling of the edda myths, you should come here and go to Jotunheimen. Looking across those mountains, you can almost expect Thor and his goats to come crashing out of the sky. [ATTACH=full]1092471[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
