It is therefore about the only currency of that period found in Noord-Holland. In 1996 on Wieringen Already found a complete Vikingschat. Among other things, there were jewelry and it was clear that those of the Vikings themselves were. It is not clear who the owner of these coins was.
“This is a huge bonus for us,” says Jan Koning. “We have found many other objects in Schoorl. Especially from the 13th and 14th centuries.

Find of your life

What will happen to the coins is not yet clear.
