<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3839263, member: 98035&quot;]The first three are tough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Atilla the Hun - His empire did not strike attributable coins. Closest would be a $500 solidus of Theodosius II struck to pay him off and keep him out of the Eastern Empire. His Germanic tributary kingdoms did mint imitations of late Roman coins as they migrated through Europe, but these are &quot;barbarous&quot; coins and thus not attributable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ghengis Khan - Again, the Mongols did not strike coins, but there are plenty of Central Asian coins struck as kingdoms submitted to him. AFAIK, the only ones that bear his name are in Arabic, and there are a few jitals about that will bear the Great Khanate tamgha. I would check a Stephen Album auction - I believe he usually has a couple for sale. Shredplayer on Ebay is another trusted source - I have seen him list them from time to time, and they usually go for about $100-250.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vikings - Well, they *did* strike coins, but expect to pay an arm and a leg, especially for any of the fun issues with Runic characters on them. You can get an Anglo-Saxon sceatta for $100-200, although they technically predate the &quot;Viking&quot; age. It is also worth noting that Viking hoards often contain large numbers of Umayyad and early Abbasid dirhams; those are quite affordable but I have never seen one offered with Viking hoard provenance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
