"Archaeologists Discover Viking Coin Hoard in Denmark"

A hoard of nearly 300 silver coins, believed to be over 1,000 years old, has been discovered near a Viking fortress site in Denmark. The trove includes Danish, Arab and Germanic coins as well as jewellery from Scotland or Ireland. Archaeologists believe the finds were from the same period as the fort, built by King Harald Bluetooth, and will offer a greater insight into the history of the Vikings. The artefacts will go on public display from July at the Aalborg Historical Museum.
