Between the years 800 and 1050, the Vikings dared to do what other European sailors in their time would not: they sailed into open waters and well beyond any sight of land. This fine silver collectable coin with full colour celebrates these brave historical explorers and their journeys into uncharted waters. They did so without any hint of modern navigational tools to aid them in their voyage; instead, the Vikings relied on their senses, intuition, and a vast understanding of nature to guide their ships far and wide, across the North Atlantic onto our easternmost shores, and into the annals of Canadian history.
