Between 919 and 954, the pagan Hiberno-Norse Kings attempted to forge a kingdom that straddled the Irish Sea, uniting Dublin and York. These Norwegians minted extraordinary pennies depicting pagan symbols, including the sword of Odin and Hammer of Thor (lot 1037), the raven of Odin (lot 1038), struck by Analf Guthfrithsson (Old Norse Olaf Guthfrithson), and the triquetra banner (lot 1039) struck by Anlaf Curaran Sithricsson (Old Norse Olaf Kvaran Sigtryggson).
