The Byzantines hired Norse mercenaries, known as the Varangian Guard, as troops in their armies. That’s probably how the coin got to Norway

Unlike the coinage of earlier civilizations that took things seriously, ours will decay like bottle-caps because our governments are basically shoddy unserious slum-lords.

IOW, the Social Kingship of Christ.

That’s AWSOME! thanks for posting that incredible find! That is what makes history so incredible! Where it was found tells the story of long intercourse between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Vikings. Just incredible to see the legend of the Varangian guards power and wealth displayed.
