Niue 1-oz Silver Legendary Warriors – Eric Bloodaxe BU

By This Bloody Axe So Shall I Rule!

Eric Bloodaxe may not be the most famous Viking of all time, but he’s arguably the most infamous. One of 20 sons sired by Norway’s King Harald Fairhair, Eric ensured his path to the throne by murdering several of his brothers thus earning his rather sanguine nickname. It also earned him his place here as part of the “Legendary Warriors” series!

Released on behalf of Niue, a small island nation in the South Pacific Ocean, this exciting collectible really brings the saga of Eric Bloodaxe to life! It depicts the notorious Viking as if he is prepared for war complete with a horned helmet, shield, and battle axe. And, while this piece it is not a legal-tender coin, it was struck in a Troy ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver and comes in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition with razor-sharp details that are crisp and rippling with intense action thanks to its unsurpassed level of detail!

The Saga Of Eric Bloodaxe

Being the oldest and most favored son of King Harald Fairhair didn’t stop Eric from going to great lengths to further guarantee his inheritance. Born in 885, Eric began his violent career raiding and pillaging along the Baltic coasts when he was just 12 years old. His experience in battle served him well because, after all, you don’t rise to the top of the heap without cracking a few skulls! Eric began his rule in 932 upon the death of his father. But he made one mistake: he hadn’t killed ALL of his brothers. Soon, his harsh and unpopular reign was brought to an end by his last surviving brother, Haakon the Good, who deposed him 934. Eric wasn’t finished just yet, however. Exiled to the British Isles, he went on to rule as the King of Northumbria from 947–948 and again from 952 until his assassination in 954 by agents of the King of Wessex. Eric’s death brought an end to the 350-year-old Kingdom of Northumbria and set the House of Wessex on the road to unifying all of England under Alfred the Great and his descendants.
