Abstract
Abstract Although numismatics is one of our oldest disciplines in the humanities, dating back to renaissance Italy, a doctoral thesis on coins and currency history is still unusual, largely because in many countries no systematic university teaching on the subject exists. Oslo University is the only one in Scandinavia where it is possible to take a basic examination in numismatics, and, significantly, it was from here that Skaare, former head of the university's coin cabinet, delivered his doctoral thesis, Coins and Coinage in Viking-Age Norway.
