2023 Samoa $25 Kilo Silver Colossus Vikings High Relief Antiqued

A Magnificent High Relief Colossus Viking Warrior In One Kilo Of 99.9% Fine Silver

The State Capitol building in Minnesota sits atop Wabasha Hill in St. Paul where it dominates a green space encompassing 18 acres of grounds populated by a variety of monuments, memorials, and works of art. One of the most popular statues there was unveiled in October of 1949 as part of the state’s large Scandinavian American community’s efforts to credit their ancestors—not Christopher Columbus—with the “discovery” of the Americas. The gigantic, 13-foot-tall bronze sculpture depicts the most famous of all Vikings, Leif Erikson. We call your attention to that impressive work of art not just because we’re fans of the National Football League’s Minnesota Vikings, but because it’s nearly the spitting image of the giant Viking depicted on this massive silver kilo coin!

Multi-Layer Technique Will Have You Chanting “Skol, Vikings!”

To say this coin is HUGE is an understatement! Measuring in at 100 mm in diameter it’s barely short of 4 inches—all the better to showcase the spectacular, incredibly detailed High Relief (HR) design! It shows a colossal Vikings warrior reminiscence of the aforementioned Leif Erikson statue complete with a horned helmet, battle axe, and war horn. These war horns could also double as drinking mugs and figure prominently in the Viking “Skol” chant. The term “Skol,” was originally a war chant that meant by day’s end the Vikings would be drinking beer from out of the skulls of their vanquished enemies! Other images that can be seen on the coin depict the Vikings’ seafaring conquests and village life on the outer circle, with crossed areas and a Viking shield accompanied by runic characters in the center. The multi-layer technique used to strike this coin lends itself to incredible high relief, making the colossal Viking truly one of stature and notoriety.

The Vikings of Scandinavia, hailing from present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden during the Viking Age (8th to 11th centuries), have a powerful and rich cultural history marked by their own laws, art, and architecture, as they raided, pirated, traded, and embarked on expansion and settlement. They were also expert sailors, armers, fishermen, craftsmen, traders, and navigators who spoke Old Norse and could read and write through inscriptions called “runes.”
