A warship fit for rulers and chieftains, the dragon-headed longship (drakkar), featured in full colour on this fine silver collectable coin, was the great ship of the Viking Age, and the embodiment of the Norsemen's superior shipbuilding abilities. This troop carrier was the largest vessel in the fleet, but was remarkably light and swift for its time. For the superstitious Vikings, the elaborately carved dragonhead on the prow was a talisman to keep sea monsters and evil spirits at bay.
