In 1909,
approximately 260 coins were found together with unminted silver in Måge
in Ullensvang, Hordaland. The coins were found by some boys playing on
a rock-strewn slope. One hundred coins and some of the unminted silver
were found under a steatite (soapstone) bowl that was turned up side down.
The remaining coins were found during subsequent investigations by museum
workers.
The find included a total of 240 Norwegian pennies from the reign of Harald Hardråde (1047-1066) and Olav Kyrre (1067-1093). Dating: after ca. 1080. |
