Cuerdale Hoard, Viking silver hoard in Lancashire, England.
The Cuerdale Hoard contains more than 8,600 silver items, including coins, jewelry, and ingots, weighing approximately 40 kilograms in total.
Workers discovered the collection on May 15, 1840, during repairs to the River Ribble embankment, leading to its declaration as Treasure Trove for Queen Victoria.
The silver pieces include coins from Viking kingdoms, Anglo-Saxon territories, and international sources such as Byzantine, Islamic, and Carolingian regions.
Most artifacts from this collection remain at the British Museum, while additional pieces are displayed at the Ashmolean Museum and Château-musée de Boulogne-sur-Mer.
The dating of newly minted Norse coins indicates burial between 903 and 910, possibly connected to Vikings expelled from Dublin in 902.
