2018 Canada 20 Dollar 1-oz Silver Norse Figureheads The Dragon's Sail Colorized Proof

Set Sail on a Journey Back to the Viking Age

Sailing out of Scandinavia in their dreaded longboats, the Vikings struck fear into the hearts of people across Northern Europe. The Viking Age lasted roughly from the late 8^th Century until the early 11^th Century, and when coastal villages and isolated abbeys and monasteries saw those ships with the dragon sails approaching, folks literally ran to the hills!

Led by Leif Ericson, the Vikings explored North America more than 500 years before Christopher Columbus “discovered” it, establishing a small settlement in what is present-day Newfoundland. With apologies to a certain professional football team in Minnesota, that settlement is the only authenticated Viking Settlement in North America. To pay tribute to its Viking heritage Canada has released a series of Norse Figureheads coins that capture all the excitement ones thinks of when talk turns to tales of the Vikings and their old Norse gods, Thor and Odin.

Struck by the Royal Canadian Mint in a full ounce of 99.99% fine silver, this $20 legal-tender proof is the latest addition in the series. It displays the incredible craftsmanship of Norse shipbuilders that allowed their fellow Vikings to travel to the shores of Canada. This proof features a dragon-headed ship surrounded by an ornate, selectively colorized border. In fact, its design is inspired by the remains of Leif Ericson’s 11th century Norse settlement in Canada.

These exciting coins are popular with collectors for their size, imagery and silver content. Make sure you don’t miss the boat – order yours today!
