1) Holløse Treasure Hoard:
Coins from the Holløse Treasure Hoard
The rich treasure hoard from Ramløse also suggests that, even in Viking times, North Zealand could justifiably be called Denmark’s Stockbroker Belt.
In 2015, and using a metal detector, an amateur archaeologist found an exceptional coin hoard in a field near Holløse, about 16 km southwest of Gilleleje.
These 42 coins symbolise the founding of the standard Danish coinage system.
The treasure was buried in a field in the 1060s, which was quite a confused time where paying for things was concerned.
Up to this point, the value of coins was based on their silver content. This was checked by either bending or biting into the coin, as real silver is soft. But during this period a change occurred to coins literally being taken at their face value.
Only a Danish monarch could decree such a significant change and the Danish monarch at this time was Svend Estridsen (> 62).
Interestingly, by looking at the Holløse coins it is clear that the new coinage had still not come about. Several pieces are bent and nicked to check their quality.
The early Danish Mint Locations and where the Holløse Hoard was found
The older hoards contain a clear predominance of foreign coins, but 40 of the Holløse coins are Danish and 22 were minted in Roskilde, the most important and geographically closest mint to the hoard site.
15 of the coins were from Lund, part of Denmark at the time – seven of them were so-called runic coins, which were only minted in a very short period.
The hoard also contains two unique coins from Aarhus, which only had a mint for a very short time – one was minted in the reign of the "Magnus the Good 1042-47", and on the back is the word "Arosie", which is one of earliest records of Aarhus being officially named.
The hoard can be viewed at the National Museum’s found treasure trove exhibition.
This page of the Coin Album adds this interesting information:
"TREASURE HOARDS IN DENMARK - THE HOLLOSE HOARD
Treasure hoards may have been buried for a number of reasons - storage, religious ceremony, threat of war or safekeeping of assets.
The Holløse Hoard, Zealand, consisting of 40 silver pennings minted in the Danish area and one English and one German coin, was found by metal detector in 2015.
The hoard was buried or lost between 1060 and 1070, a transitional period in Danish coin history when Danish coinage was being established.
This is the fourth coin set in a series featuring Danish treasure hoards."
The Front Cover of the Coin Album showcases an image of the Obverse of a Silver penning for the Hollose Hoard with Christ and the Bible.
The album is titled - "DANMARK" ("Denmark") and "Montaeset - Coin Set - 2022".
The Reverse of the 1 Penning Silver Coin features a cross, minted in Lund, Scania, Sweden.
2) The Coin Set, 2022:
