Description
English: (Part of a) Hoard of 186 silver coins (most of Alfred and Ceolwulf II), 7 items of jewellery (all but one of silver, the other gold) and 15 silver ingots. The Hoard was probably deposited in the late 870s by a Viking for safe-keeping, at the time Wessex and Mercia were fighting for survival against a 'Great Heathen Army'. Parts are now in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford and on display, see e.g. [1]
