Hoards associated with the Vikings, dating from the ninth to eleventh centuries, frequently comprise a mixture of silver coins, silver jewellery and hacksilver that has been taken in loot, and attest to the activities of the Vikings abroad, with some coins originating from as far away as the Middle East. The majority of hoards were buried in times of crisis, usually warfare, with an intention that the owner would return to retrieve it. However, some hoards were buried as votive offerings to the gods.This metal was the real currency of the Viking Age. Goods were paid for in silver by weight and in a transaction the required amount of silver was simply cut off - hence the presence of hacksilver. [423] Mainly fine condition; pot repaired.
