Coin

Danish silver coin minted around 1030 in Lund for king Cnut the Great (1018–1035). On the other side of the coin is a coiled snake with two pairs of legs. On the reverse side is a bow-shaped cross. The snake was used as a symbol for Lund, which at that time was the most important Danish mint site. Part of a hoard find, Lilla Klintegårde, Väskinde Parish, Gotland.
