2018 Canada 1-oz Silver Norse Figure Voyage Proof

Take a Trip with the World’s Most Fabled Seafarers

Centuries before Christopher Columbus made it to the Americas, the Vikings braved the frigid temperatures and other dangers of the North Atlantic to become the first Europeans to set foot in the Americas. Eastern Canada was just one of the many areas that these fearless explorers visited on their adventures. Now, a three-coin series gives you the chance to see some of the ships on which the Vikings took those long, dangerous journeys. This 2018 Canada one ounce Silver Viking Voyage Proof completes the series with a view of the dragonhead at the front of one of a ship at sea. The colorized rim supplements the ship design, incorporating both knots, a critical element of working on ships, and traditional Norse art.

Transportation is among the top things on a list of what we take for granted today but that presented major challenges in the past. Today, flying from Oslo to Ottawa takes just a matter of hours, but a thousand years ago, the same journey could take weeks or months. That underscores the difficulty and accomplishment of Norse exploration and can capture the imaginations of modern day explorers just as much as it captured generations of Vikings back then. Now, you have the opportunity to share in that spirit of exploration with this 2018 Canada one ounce Silver Viking Voyage Proof.
