Research project Coins, Dies, Silver: For a new approach to the making of the Feudal period
The project explores the 10th century Norman coinage as evidence of the administrative and financial history of Normandy.
It is the time when the Viking chieftain Rollo received Normandy from the Frankish king Charles the Simple. The subsequent Norman coinage is, however, purely Frankish and not Scandinavian. It is well-organized and must have required an efficient administrative system. The purpose of the coinage seems to have been to provide maximum income for the issuing power.
