If you make a couple coins and start being a Viking do you think the coins you make will be worth $1200 at any point in the future? No probably not, unless you had an unlimited mountain dew supply. There are other Viking coins around the same exact time period and location worth much more than $1200.

its not right technically it should never have been taken from the UK... it was probably found by a metal detectorist

​@@smudgecd It was sold from a collection, thats where those little stickers come from. you can be sure that the rich european collector had the right paperwork from some buddy of his. Its also not clear if it was found in the UK at all. the vikings moved around alot and the best spots to find stuff like that are in skandinavia and the swamps of northern germany.

[@HkFTW12]

Hey Danish guys here. The cross on the backside of the coin is actually what is called a wolf-cross, alot of vikings tribes had these symbols because for them it was Thors hammer, but they could tell the christians that it was a cross, so when they were outmatched they could just trade with them or hide in plane sight.

[@alvinhagerman8164]

Im Swedish, agreed

[@VagueMemory]

Exactly. It is pure ignorance to think the cross comes from Christianity. Really, the significance of the cross in religious culture dates all the way back to the Zodiac (one of the oldest conceptual images known to man) and astrological worship, which is the basis for all major religions. From there, several religions gave significance to the symbology of the cross.
