Viking Silver Ingot (2019)

A cut piece of Viking silver ingot found in September 2019 and declared Treasure that December.

Also recorded as: 2019 cut Viking ingot; AD 950–1075 silver ingot

What the evidence supports

The cut ingot belongs to the weighed-silver economy of the Viking period. The official Treasure announcement does not publish a safe findspot, so it remains distinct from the 2024 ingot record but carries no geometry.
