A stunning hoard of Viking silver coins that are over 1,000-years-old has been discovered on the Isle of Man, deepening the island’s rich Viking legacy. Unearthed in May 2024 by metal detectorists John Crowe and David O’Hare, the hoard consists of 36 silver coins, including whole coins and fragments, and was recently declared Treasure by Isle of Man Deputy Coroner of Inquests, Rebecca Cubbon. The coins, dating from AD 1000 to 1065, provide a telling glimpse into the Viking Age economy in the Isle of Man. Allison Fox, Curator for Archaeology at Manx National Heritage, highlighted the find’s significance, noting the island’s unique position in the Viking world, where more Viking silver has been found per square kilometer than in other parts of the British Isles.
