Kievan Rus' 46 mm copper ingot wrapped in gold with ornament of five circles. ca 9th C.

Jane Kershaw writes, "At the Viking winter camp of Torksey, Lincolnshire, several hack-gold fragments have been found, some with signs of cut marks, indicating they they had been cut from larger objects.
A fake gold ingot (a copper-alloy ingot with a gilded exterior) is also known from the site." : http://vikingmetalwork.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=8
