Important gold discovery in Kungsbacka – Sveriges Radio

– It’s very seldom we get “gold shine” in the context of our excavations. Here we have it in two ways, says Bengt Nordqvist, project manager.

– I have stayed at in 40 years as an archaeologist and finally you find such a fantastic objects. It’s a small, small object, but it has a great big story to tell, says Bengt Nordqvist.

In Halland there are three places where you previously found similar gold coins that can be hung in a piece of jewelry. Last was the early 1900s.

The coin is a horse and the horse is Odin. It weighs about 4 grams.

The coin is from the 4-500 years after Christ. Probably it will end at the Historical Museum.
