myminifactory

The treasure discovered among the grave goods at Sutton Hoo included 37 gold coins, three coin-shaped blanks, and two small gold bars. The coins cannot be dated exactly, but appear to have been buried after AD 610 and before around AD 635. They were all minted in the kingdom of the Merovingian Franks on the European mainland. This treasure is essential for deciphering the burial at Sutton Hoo, as it offers clear evidence about when the ship and its contents were laid to rest.
