        Very much a first draft, decided to look at wider context of Indian coins in Britain after stumbling on them in the PAS: comments welcome :)

        @caitlinrgreen Ive loved these posts! I wonder though about the non-hoard Indian finds. Some amnt of S.Asian coinage came back in 18th-20thc

        @MitchFraas Thank you! I agree, non-hoard coins=worrisome. Think Shahi coins of right period+metal as continental coins=plausible, others >

        @MitchFraas > need more scepticism? As you say, later S. Indian coins def came back as 'tourist' pieces, so possible some early ones too.

        Interestingly, both Islamic+Indian coins arguably represent payments made to Vikings for massive numbers of slaves: http://krc.orient.ox.ac.uk/dirhamsforslaves/index.php/en/ …

        If *was* primarily this, then trade=huge, as suggested that 100,000,000+ silver coins sent north from Central Asia:http://www.medievalists.net/2010/06/21/dirham-mint-output-of-samanid-samarqand-and-its-connection-to-the-beginnings-of-trade-with-northern-europe-10th-century/ …

        Most Viking-era silk etc from Persia/Byzantine Empire, but a few poss bits from China--could these pieces have come w/ dirhams/Indian coins?

        @caitlinrgreen @barbarikon The second one at least, according to the link, may well have been brought to Britain not so long ago, then lost.

        @mjd1735 @barbarikon Depends on dating of 2nd coin, if after E11thC then not part of Viking-Asian trade--could still be a pre-modern tho >
