MetzKaj Valued Member Netherlands 145 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 7:49 pm Info about this coin: "The Vikings of York (Jorvik) issued their own distinctive coins. This coin Christian in character, commemorates St Peter, the patron of York's cathedral and is known as St. Peter Coinage. It also celebrates the traditional Norse gods with the hammer of Thor and sword design." - Source: http://dorchesters.com/vikings-at-y...eter-coinage Such coins have been replicated, but I haven't found any looking like yours.
