Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 06:45 am My guess is that it is a modern replica. Btw, the original would be over 1,000 years old. Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17956 Posts	Posted 01/16/2015 1:17 pm I have a feeling that this is one of the replica coins that you can buy at the Jorvik Viking Exhibition in York. A member of staff takes a blank and hammers the coin while you wait - when I went, it was a very attractive blonde woman! I'll try to dig out my Jorvik 'coin' so I can post a photo and compare it to yours. My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Report this Post to the Staff

NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17956 Posts	Posted 01/18/2015 3:07 pm Hi - I've checked my Jorvik replica Viking coins and they are similar but not the same! These are from two visits several years apart, but the dies may of course have changed again since my second visit!
