One of the most important coins in the hoard, dating from AD 830 to 840, sheds light on a place far away: Its markings show its provenance is the kingdom of the Khazars, a realm in southern Russia between the Black and Caspian seas. Ping ... thought you'd find this of interest.

Thanks, but I'm on the GGG ping list and have already read this. But yes, it's right up my alley.
Many thanks for thinking of me, though. :-)
