The north ( Frisia & Groningen) and the middle (Gelderland & Utrecht) This coin came from a so called "terp" field. An artificial mount, made by the Roman & medieval era dwellers to protect themselfes and their livestock against the flood. This was before the dikes were built Edited by Archeo1982 10/18/2017 07:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
