A bracteate discovered on the island of Funen, Denmark features incomprehensible and meaningful text. The bracteate is housed with many others at the National Museum of Denmark. The trannoscription reads:
ᚺᛟᚢᚨᛉ
houaz
ᛚᚨᚦᚢ
laþu
ᚨᚨᛞᚢᚫᚫᚫᛚᛁᛁᚨ
aaduaaaliia
ᚨ--
a--
What is transcribed as a-- above has been tentatively read as alu. The word houaz has been interpreted as corresponding to Old Norse hávi "the high one", a name of Odin.

It was found in 1965 in Greece and it is now kept in the Archaeological Museum of Komotini, in the town of Komotini. It is one of the only two surviving gold busts of a Roman Emperor today, the other being the Golden Bust of Marcus Aurelius.
