Thanks for all the tips. I have sat and looking for manufacturers of coin replicas. I have found the right place now, I think. The coin looks exactly like the one shown here. http://www.medievalcollectibles.com/c-740-viking-coins.aspx I actually had no idea that it was produced coins copies of these. Now I have learned something and had fun along the way. It is good, after the disappointment that it was not a real Viking coins.

Get curious for your replies, "coin" is well made and has the exact size of the original. Not completely around, so it may be a copy of the sales. Can also be something you received in connection with the purchase, mentioned this in reply. Wondering if anyone knows more. Looking on the internet and find absolutely nothing. Can I find these souvenirs in the present at the museum in the UK.? Could be a story before it came here to Sweden. Grateful for all the answers.

A little fun anyway, has kept the coin in my hand and thought about the people who possibly had it in their hands. It is beautiful so must content myself with it. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your response, what a pity it is a copy. Why make a copy of this coin? Very well done anyway.

A few years ago we were in the harbor outside Timra located a bit outside Sundsvall, Sweden. We picked the stones and pieces of wood which we thought was fine. Everything ended up in a bag the other day, I decided to open up and put in a box. When I poured over them dropped a small coin out. I think it was hidden in a piece of wood or stone that has broken down over the years. I was curious and looked closely at their appearance. First thought it was a charm or something but seeing that it is very well made. The coin is small with printing on both sides. It looks like there are two parts, front and rear, which has been put together. Feels heavy despite its small size and are in very good condition. I have no idea what it could be for coins but found a picture of a coin that says Ireland, Sigtrygg Silke Beard where appearance does good. Would be nice to know if it's a real coin and its value. Is interest in this? Fun if anyone knows anything about the coin. In the belief that it originates from about the year 1000, it is a nice feeling to hold it. But I may be wrong.
