62.2 (2 oz). Sixth issue from 15 coin series Vikings: Gods, Kings and Warriors featuring the son of legendary Viking warrior and King, Ragnar of Lothbrok Bjorn Ironside. The 2 Oz coin is minted with an exceptional High Relief technique. The coin will have a laser-etched serial number on the rim along with matching serial number found on the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage to 1.999 pcs. Bjorn’s depiction on the reverse of the coin is based upon the historical account of his sacking of the town of Luna, Italy, which legend says he believed to be Rome at the time. Unable to breach the town walls by force, Bjorn sent messengers to the resident Bishop of Luna who announced (lied about) Bjorn’s death and last request for a deathbed conversion, and the desire to be buried on consecrated ground within the church. The Bishop, agreeing to Bjorn’s request, permitted Bjorn’s dead body entry into the chapel with a small honor guard. To the amazement of the Italian clerics and others in attendance, Bjorn surprised the crowd by bursting from his “coffin” and fighting his way to the town gates to win their eventual freedom, allowing his army entrance to Luna and its riches. On the bottom of the coin, the inscription: Bjorn Ironside the name of the coin. The obverse of the coin portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination: Two Dollars, the issue year: 2016, the issue country: Niue and 2 Oz 999 Fine Silver – the weight and the fineness of Silver. Bjorn Ironside Bjorn Ironside was a legendary king of Sweden who lived sometime in the 9th century. Bjorn Ironside is said to have been the first ruler of the Munso dynasty. In the early 18th century, a barrow on the island of Munso was claimed by antiquarians to be Bjorn Jarnsidas hg or Bjorn Ironside’s grave. Hog, from the Old Norse word haugr, means barrow or mound. A powerful Viking chieftain and naval commander, Bjorn and his brother Hastein conducted many (mostly successful) raids in France in a continuation of the tradition initiated by their (legendary) father Ragnar Lothbrok. In 860, Björn led a large Viking raid into the Mediterranean. After raiding down the Iberian coast and fighting their way through Gibraltar, Bjorn and Hastein pillaged the south of France, where his fleet over-wintered, before landing in Italy where they captured the coastal city of Pisa. They proceeded inland to the town of Luni, which they believed to be Rome at the time, but were unable to breach the town walls. To gain entry a tricky plan was devised: Hastein sent messengers to the bishop to say that, being deathly ill, he had a deathbed conversion and wished to receive Christian sacraments and/or to be buried on consecrated ground within their church. He was brought into the chapel with a small honor guard, then surprised the dismayed clerics by leaping from his stretcher. The Viking party then hacked its way to the town gates, which were promptly opened letting the rest of the army in. In the desperate battle that followed, Bjorn lost 40 ships, largely to a form of Greek fire launched from Saracen catapults. The remainder of his fleet managed to return to Scandinavia, however, where he lived out his life as a rich man.

Welcome to Art in Coins, we’re currently in a re-branding transition from our old company and website. The new company name and logo better aligns our corporate identity with the specialty products we’re more focused on. We’re still offering the same quick and personalized service as always. Art in Coins is thrilled to offer this complete set of the first 3 releases of the new 15 coin Viking God, King & Warrior Series. These 2oz High Relief. 999 pure silver coins will be stage released in no particular order in the coming months. These exceptional rimless coin sets feature a beautiful thematic presentation box and a numbered certificate of authenticity that matches the number lazer etched into the external diameter of the coin. Odin – Viking God. Odin the “Allfather” was the premier Norse deity, at once a magnetic and polarizing figure whose influence permeated all aspects of society. He was the ruler of Valhalla, the highest level of the underworld and frequently received human sacrifices. In battle, he was a manipulative commander who derived an almost spiritual ecstasy from orchestrating violent, chaotic bloodbaths. He was also a lover of poetry and heavily involved in shamanism, magic and necromancy. Cnut – Viking King King Cnut is remembered for stabilizing England, Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden and unifying the regions into one empire from A. Humility was his hallmark trait, often illustrated by the tale of “King Cnut and the Waves, ” wherein Cnut had his throne placed on the seashore as the tide was coming in. Sitting upon his throne, he stretched out his hand and commanded the tide to recede. The ocean responded by continuing its advance, covering the king’s feet and soaking his royal garments. Cnut turned to the small audience accompanying him and said, Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws. He placed his crown upon a crucifix and never wore it again. Ragnar – Viking Warrior. A legendary Viking warrior and king, Ragnar of Lothbrok is likely an amalgamation of several prominent warriors. He is remembered for leading successful campaigns into France and England, galvanizing Viking armies to battle, and passing on his legacy to his many warrior sons, most notably, Ivar the Boneless. He met his end when he was captured by king Aella of Northumbria and thrown into a pit of snakes. Face value : 2 Dollars. Quality : High Relief, Antique Finish. Mintage : 1,999 Worldwide.
