Frisian and Frankish Coins from Dorestad (c. 600-750)
Dorestad was one of the major urban centres of early-medieval northern Europe, situated between the territories of the Frisians (along what is today the Dutch, Belgian, and German coastline), and that of the Franks further inland. Some amazing coins have been unearthed there, dating from Roman times at the earliest, and in such quantities that there can be no doubt that this was the site of the famous Frankish mint at Dorestad.

The people spoke and here it is. Israeli coins. Oh no wait.
galleons, doubloons, shekels -- we want them all!!
I want payment in another form… one penny in a pouch made from Bibi’s scr0tum.
In his book The Edge of the World, Michael Pye discusses how the Frisians reintroduced a cash economy to a Europe that had simply been bartering since the fall of the Roman Empire. If I remember correctly, some of the coins from this time period bear the name of the first heathen Frisian king that we can say with a modicum of certainty actually existed---Aldgisl. I believe the dithemic translates to Old Whip, which is a pretty badass name for anyone, especially a king.
Let's all laugh at how 17-year-old me pronounced "sceatta" and "totally" (like a posh **** for some reason).
I thought you sounded younger in this one
You should cover Frisian life from the Napoleonic wars to the German unification
Not sure it's the right niche but if anyone's brutally interested in the Migration Era I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's huge playlist on it. He's also into numismatics, it would be beautiful to see a coop with Hilbert
That guy is incredible. I don't know how he works so hard.
@@tocatcha6969it’s like he just does what he love everyday and it clicks. I have little to offer, but my “Important” playlist will completely expand the worIdview & historical understanding of whoever goes through even just part of it. I don’t have time to reupload everything I had, so this is the packet I would give anyone who is interested in history & the world. I’m not trying to promote myself, I just truly want the info out.
The amount he produces Is he from Cyberdine systems AI division? Cheers from Mercia
@@antonyreyn that sounds about right tbh
I’d love to get the designs from some of the Frisia sceattas tattooed on me
get it on your face -- that'd be hard
interesting to compare these coins
On that final coin, "ᚫᚦᛁᛚ" in the top row clearly equates to "Æthel". On the lower line, is that ᛥ (st) cut off on the left? In Britain ᛥ is a manuscript only rune. Was it used epigraphically in Frisia? Isn't this period a little early for it anyway? The inverted ᚫ (a) is obvious. But what is that final rune? I can't recognise it at all. It could be ᚢ inverted but that makes no sense in context.
Hello Hilbert. Pagan themed coins in time for Halloween. A gilt edged ending to frustrating video posting.
2:29 the left one looks a bit like Cthulhu.
The 'porcupine' is more likely a boar's top mane. As on the rider figures on the scandinavian bracteats...
WAUW!!!!
Peninga for your thoughts
Interesting how they can be traced back to the beginning of the Viking Age.
I collect sceattas. Really historical interesting coins
Are they still worth money or just artifacts now??
