🇸🇪 **Viking silver treasure uncovered in Täby in Stockholm**
“_Several coins are of European origin, representing countries as England, Bohemia and Bavaria. In addition, the treasure consisted of five Arabic coins, so called dirhams. One of the European coins is extremely rare and was minted in the city of Rouen, in Normandy, France. It dates to approximately the 10th Century AD._”

**Exclusive: 'Turk-Kagan' coin discovery reshapes early Turkic history, says Uzbek professor**
“_Perhaps most significantly, the “Turk-Kagan” coins predate the famed Orkhon inscriptions—those of Tonyukuk, Kultegin, and Bilge Kagan—by more than 150 years. This pushes back the earliest known written usage of “Turk” and “Turk-Kagan” to the late sixth or early seventh century A.D._”
