Could a scavenger hunter's find be a part of the lost booty once extorted by Vikings to spare Paris from ruin? A full-scale excavation may tell.

At that time and place, there were no coins being produced, so coins used for trade would have had to come from places west or south (as mentioned in the article, Islamic coins have also turned up in Poland).
Neat find and an interesting hypothesis. Poles never lack for imagination.
