Viking Norseman 2010 | TV$‎1 Tuvalu | 1oz Fine Silver Coin

The Viking Norsemen were a defining force of the Viking Age (c. 793-1066 AD), leaving an indelible mark on history through their legendary skills in raiding, trade, and exploration. As master shipbuilders and navigators, the Norsemen traversed the globe in their iconic longships, reaching lands as far-flung as Russia and North America. Their society, built upon a strong cultural emphasis on honor and bravery, was rich with sagas and complex mythology. Beyond the fearsome reputation earned in their raids, they were also highly capable traders who founded cities such as Dublin and established far-reaching networks that reshaped the cultural landscape of Europe.

This 2010 commemorative coin, issued by Tuvalu as part of the prestigious Great Warriors series, honors these formidable historical figures. Struck by The Perth Mint from 1 oz (31.1035g) of .999 fine silver, the coin features a stunning proof finish. With a limited global mintage of only 5,000 pieces, this collector’s item is housed in its original presentation case and includes a certificate of authenticity, offering a tangible connection to the legacy of the Norse explorers.
