An enormous cache of Viking Era coins has been unearthed in #Norway, dubbed the Mørstad Hoard after the farm near Rena in Østerdalen on which the coins were discovered. It is the largest hoard of this period ever found in Norway. #numismatics #archaeology

Two additional Celtic #gold #coins have been found at Great Baddow (UK), bringing the total to 935. The Great Baddow Hoard will go on display at the Museum of Chelmsford in July. #numismatics #archaeology
