Yes, if it was before the Vikings started using coins. If it was after, it hints at the subsistence of an earlier state where they used gold and silver as in-kind payment only, but may not be in itself hard evidence for the existence of a prior system. (I'm not sure what qualifies as hard evidence to historians, but that's another debate.)
