Silver treasures discovered on island of Ruegen

13 April 2018, Germany, Schaprode: An assortment of Saxon, Ottonian, Danish and Byzantine coins, some of which were apparently used as pendants (perforated with a hole) on a table. Archaeologists have discovered valuable, predominantly Scandinavian silver treasures from the late 10th century, in a field on the German island of Ruegen. In an area of around 400 square metres near the municipality of Schaprode, they recovered jewellery and around 500 - 600 coins, of which more than 100 coins date back to the reign of Danish king Harald "Bluetooth" (910-987).
