Abstract

This article deals with the early Nordic pictorial coinage, in all probability struck in Hedeby in the first half of the 9th century. The focus is on the interpretation of its role in societal strategies, since some of the coins reproduce the coins of the Carolingian empire while others expose an iconographic universe of Nordic symbolism. One of these symbols, which is examined somewhat closer, is the ship.
