More hoard
I'm up to both ears now in literature on Arabian coins from 800-900 AD that made the trip from Baghdad and Burkhara in the Middle East to Scandinavia in the Viking Ages. The trade routes went along the rivers in Russia to the Baltic Sea and then through the Scandinavian areas. This is the current extent of the hoard, as there could be more coins in the ground.
There has been found about 85.000 coins like these in Sweden, but the number for Norway only comes to about 1000. Well, 1016 now.
