Viking-period folding scales can be traced back to the second half of the 9th century and soon spread throughout the entire Baltic region.

Of course, the use of scales also required corresponding weights. Thus, in the course of the flow of silver from the Arabian regions, scales were brought to the north along with the folding scales.

For weighing, the folding scales were filled with minced silver or silver coins in one weighing pan and balanced with the respective bronze weights on the other side until the pointer of the scales was aligned in the middle.
