Leif Ericsson Silver Vinland Coin

Vinland That Might-have-been A coin that might have been! Leif Ericsson founded a North American colony named Vinland that was later abandoned. If it had lasted, we think their money would have looked like this. The design was inspired by historical ancient viking coins, using similar imagery and engraved with chisel-engraving techniques. It features Leif Ericsson and the words "Vinland Moneta", translating to "Vinland Money." Solid .900 silver, 2.4 grams (1/4 troy oz) 2 cm diameter Coin artwork by Greg Franck-Weiby. Learn more about our artists. Shop more Viking Coins   © Shire Post Mint. All rights reserved.
