🇸🇪 **Up to 20,000 coins from Early Middle Ages discovered by man digging for worms near Stockholm**

"_A preliminary analysis showed that most of the silver coins date to the 12th century. Some bear the text "KANUTUS," the Latin name for Knut, meaning they were minted during the reign of Swedish king Knut Eriksson, who ruled from 1173 to about 1195._"
