For those wondering, under Denmark's Danefæ (treasure trove) law, the finder is rewarded based on the material value plus the cultural/historical value (to ensure that such finds aren't instead left unreported and melted down by the finder).
In Finland you could get the value of the gold or silver +25 %. However, usually the price that the museum authorities buy the hoards for is 45-150 €/ coin in the case of Viking age coins.

no you get the current value of any precious metals, so you get the material value, not the historical value.
