Hanging earrings Hedeby Mønten Bronze

This fantastic piece of jewelery is inspired by one of the Hedeby coins. Hedeby was one of the Vikings' most important cities due to its strategic location and proximity to major trade routes. It was also here that the Vikings began to produce their own coins in the 8th and 9th centuries.

Around the middle of the 11th century, the city was destroyed, and thus no more Hedeby coins were produced thereafter. The original Hedeby coin is on display at the Wikingermuserum Haithabu in Schleswig.

These dangling earrings represent a beautiful Viking ship, the most feared and iconic from Viking times. The Viking ships were versatile and enabled the Vikings to plunder and conquer our neighbours.

The stem that goes through the ear is made of gold-plated silver, and therefore nickel-free.

The coin is 12mm in diameter. And the price is of course for a pair (2 pieces)
