Age of the Vikings: Silver Coin Collection (about 1100-1300 years ago)

Sale Price:$50.71 Original Price:$59.67
sale

This collection features silver coins from or related to the Viking Age, including an Abbasid dirham similar to those discovered in Viking hoards.

Technical Details:

Format: Silver coin album

Album ID: VIKINGALB

Historical Significance: While often portrayed simply as violent raiders after their attack on Lindisfarne monastery in 793 AD, the Vikings were actually a complex society with sophisticated art, rich mythology, and extensive trade networks reaching as far as Constantinople (modern Istanbul) and beyond. Interestingly, Vikings did not mint their own coins for several centuries, instead using Arabic dirhams acquired through trade or raiding. The Abbasid dirham included in this collection represents the type of coins frequently found buried in Viking hoards across Scandinavia. These silver coins provide tangible evidence of the Vikings' far-reaching economic connections and challenge the one-dimensional view of Vikings as mere raiders. And contrary to popular belief, Viking helmets did not actually have horns—this was a much later artistic invention.
