><p>The nearest treasure island is just about 600 miles from the K\u00fcnker auction house in Osnabr\u00fcck! We are talking about the Swedish island of Gotland, which in the 8th century AD developed into a trading hub linking northern Europe with the urban centers of the Middle East. Beeswax, wood, and animal skins were not only highly popular in Miklagard \u2013 as the northerners called the city of Constantinople. And as Muslim armies and fleets blocked traditional trade routes, goods were exchanged between northern Europe and Asia on Russian rivers, which were easily accessible from Scandinavia via the Baltic Sea. In this process, Gotland became an important trading center for all kinds of goods.<\/p>\n<p>And there is more: Gotland was also home to many manufacturers of goods that were urgently needed by seafarers. It was here that tar and rope were produced, beer brewed and dried cod prepared. Of course, the people of Gotland were not the only ones to produce these goods \u2013 but it was the only island without feudal lords, who were in control of all other places in central and northern Europe at the time. So, on Gotland, nobody took away the farmers\u2019 surplus. And nobody prevented them from trading in their own goods. That is why many enterprising peasants loaded up a ship with their goods, hired a crew and took to the sea. They sold whatever they produced. And, perhaps, a different opportunity presented itself. Although the Vikings were not as bad as their reputation, they certainly did not mind \u201cincreasing their income\u201d whenever they saw an opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>When they returned, their ships brought large quantities of silver to Gotland; and a farmer had no use for so much silver in his daily life. Gotland was a subsistence economy where people produced themselves what they needed to live. Therefore, the silver brought back from the last trip was buried in the ground \u2013 and that is why these lost treasures can still be found in Gotland\u2019s soil today.<\/p>\n<p>Most treasures were buried between the 9th and 11th centuries. At first they were distributed evenly over the whole island, and from 1075 they were more concentrated along the coast.<\/p>\n<p>Some people do not like archaeological hoards to be called treasures. In the case of Gotland, however, you simply cannot do without this term. The island has a size of just three thousand square kilometers and hoards containing nearly 180,000 coins have been found to date. And it is quite possible that this figure is already out of date, as new hoards are being found all the time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-33i2wg2-e7036ed907f428871047f345e0a64d9c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-33i2wg2-e7036ed907f428871047f345e0a64d9c{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-33i2wg2-e7036ed907f428871047f345e0a64d9c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m6rk816e-34856830578c4df9bb1ed95e93f38e38 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><b>A Child of the Early National Movement<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While most of the early hoards found on Gotland are on display in the Gold Room of the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm, all new hoards are brought to the Gotland Museum, which was founded in 1875 on the initiative of Per Magnus Arvid S\u00e4ve.<\/p>\n<p>The history of this museum is quite typical for a local museum.

It weighs a staggering 67 kilos and contains 14,000 coins, most of them Islamic. As Islamic dirhems can be precisely dated, we know when the treasure was buried, after 870\/71.<\/p>\n<p>67 kilos \u2013 the sheer amount of silver in this hoard is virtually overwhelming for visitors. We would like to give you an idea of how much the hoard was worth at the time it was buried: with this money, Gotland could have paid all its taxes to the Swedish king for five years.<\/p>\n<p>The treasure was almost found live while a camera crew was filming. At the time, the Swedish broadcaster TV4 was making a documentary about Gotland\u2019s coin hoards. They had rented a metal detector and were assisted by archaeologist Jonas Str\u00f6m. Incidentally, the internationally renowned numismatist Kenneth Jonsson was also on site. They recommended that the TV team film at the Spillings farm, as coins had turned up there time and time again.<\/p>\n<p>When the team had finished filming and left the farm, the scholars decided to take the metal detector and check out the site for themselves \u2013 just 20 minutes later, they heard the signal telling them that they had found the first of what turned out to be three hoards. A few hours later, they found a second hoard. That was too much for the detector, says Jonas Str\u00f6m: \u201cThe display said \u2018overload\u2019 and then the device just turned off.\u201d An archaeological excavation was carried out immediately, which is why the Spillings Hoard was unearthed by a team of experts complying with archaeological standards.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the two silver treasures, another hoard of 20 kilos of bronze was discovered later. It is of little interest to numismatists as it contained no coins. For archaeologists, on the other hand, this third hoard is truly unique: after all, there are far fewer bronze hoards than silver hoards on Gotland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-26umste-59f7878a3c68551dd0983db04cd0239c\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-26umste-59f7878a3c68551dd0983db04cd0239c{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-26umste-59f7878a3c68551dd0983db04cd0239c hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m6rk8oc7-2d4f57630de118b9da59483fe26e1e7d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Stavar\u2019s Treasure<\/h2>\n<p>My personal favorite is the story of Stavar\u2019s Treasure, and to tell it, we have to go back to 1880. At the time, a somewhat drunk Gotlander called G\u00f6ran staggered out of the local pub. All of a sudden \u2013 as he would tell again and again \u2013 a Viking covered in blood appeared in front of him holding a large axe. G\u00f6ran was frightened, but the ghost calmed him down: It said that it was his ancestor named Stavar. He died fighting against the Norwegian Viking Erik Jarl and did not live to tell his children about the secret of his treasure. So now he wants to show it to G\u00f6ran. You can imagine that G\u00f6ran was sobered up in the blink of an eye. However, he was cautious to proceed. He did not want to have Stavar\u2019s treasure, because he believed that it was tainted with evil. So he politely declined. The ghost called Stavar praised him for his decision, gave him some coins from the hoard and promised to try again with G\u00f6ran\u2019s descendants.<\/p>\n<p>We can well imagine that G\u00f6ran\u2019s descendants cursed him for his modesty for a long time to come. And when they sold the Stavgard estate in the 1950s, they included a clause stating that they had the right to claim Stavar\u2019s treasure if it ever turned up.<\/p>\n<p>It was only in 1975 that the treasure was found by playing schoolchildren. But was this hoard really Stavar\u2019s treasure? We may well doubt that. There are so many treasures buried on Gotland that it is quite likely that one of them will be found on your land.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1flr5oi-44f1dea4ce3d39909afcd11f85fdaeb8\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1flr5oi-44f1dea4ce3d39909afcd11f85fdaeb8{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1flr5oi-44f1dea4ce3d39909afcd11f85fdaeb8 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m6rk910w-2dbb1dd977b7b204b1dd63d0de35dfbe '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>The End of Gotland\u2019s Wealth<\/h2>\n<p>Just as impressive as the large treasures are the testimonies to the Battle of Visby in 1361. To us, this battle is of importance because it put an end to the many coin hoards.<\/p>\n<p>Let us remember: the reason why Gotland\u2019s farmers became rich was that there were no feudal lords on the island. In this way, Gotland\u2019s farmers put themselves in a position of potential competition with the merchants of Visby, the main city of Gotland. After all, the merchants would have liked to unite all the island\u2019s trade business behind their city walls.<\/p>\n<p>When the Danish king Valdemar Atterdag tried to take control of Gotland, he attacked Visby. But the townspeople barricaded themselves behind the city walls and let the farmers fight the battle. Farmers fighting the Danish king\u2019s soldiers \u2013 no prizes for guessing who won the battle. Our imagination is stimulated by the many exhibits in the Gotland Museum. There are the remains of Gotland\u2019s farmers, pierced by arrows, with their limbs cut off and their skulls split open. While half of the male population was slaughtered outside Visby, the citizens watched and waited. They negotiated an agreement with Valdemar Atterdag, while his soldiers plundered and burned down the farmsteads in the countryside. Visby\u2019s merchants thought that this would get rid of their competitors.<\/p>\n<p>But they forgot about the fact that goods need to be produced before they can be sold and traded. Once those who produce them are dead, there is nothing left to make a profit on. And this is how Gotland lost its position as a trading hub and important economic center in the Baltic Sea. It should also be mentioned that by this time the trade routes had begun to shift again.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1ac8vtu-47c5d17a653571b30ed754d9271ca9ec\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1ac8vtu-47c5d17a653571b30ed754d9271ca9ec{\nheight:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1ac8vtu-47c5d17a653571b30ed754d9271ca9ec hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_social_share '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-o81wjm-fbc2fd2a5f31848d2fb461a038f31ac2 av-social-sharing-box-icon-simple  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last  mwcw-social-share av-social-sharing-box-same-width'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/oum-location\/gotlands-museum\/&#038;t=Gotlands%20Museum' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-square-x-twitter avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=Gotlands%20Museum&#038;url=https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/?p=14016' data-av_icon='\ue933' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on X'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on X<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Gotlands%20Museum&#038;body=https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/oum-location\/gotlands-museum\/' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strandgatan 14<br \/>\nVisby<br \/>\nSchweden<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":14157,"template":"","oum-type":[145],"class_list":["post-14016","oum-location","type-oum-location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oum-location\/14016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oum-location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/oum-location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oum-location\/14016\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14153,"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oum-location\/14016\/revisions\/14153"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"oum-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/numismatic-directory.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/oum-type?post=14016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
