What role did torques play as a means of payment in the Viking Age, and what is meant by the term hacksilver in this context?

During the Viking Age, torques served not only as prestigious jewelry but also as a portable means of payment, as wealth was often carried on the body in the form of precious metals. In this context, the term "hacksilver" refers to shredded silver objects such as fragments of rings, coins, or ingots. When a payment was needed, the required amount of silver was simply cut from the piece of jewelry or other objects and weighed to function as currency.
What craft techniques were used in the production of Viking bronze torques, and how does the choice of material affect the flexibility of the piece of jewelry?

Viking bronze torcs are made using traditional techniques such as twisting, braiding, or cording of wires, as well as the lost-wax casting process for solid end pieces. The use of drawn or twisted bronze ensures a high degree of flexibility, allowing the torc to be individually adjusted and comfortably worn.
What symbolic meaning did animal heads, such as wolf or dragon heads, have at the ends of a Viking torque?
