In the mystical land of the North, where harsh landscapes meet the endless sea, a new story unfolds. A world of Viking warriors, where blood flows in rivers and battles echo through the centuries. Here the bravest of the brave can find the Way to Valhalla – the heavenly kingdom of the fallen Vikings, welcomed by Odin himself.
\nValhalla (from the Old Norse language – \u201cpalace of the slain\u201d) – in German-Scandinavian mythology, a heavenly palace in the city of Asgard, where warriors killed in battle go after death, and where they continue their previous heroic life.
\n\u201cThe Path to Valhalla\u201d presents the mysterious saga of the fierce and courageous Vikings and their adventures leading them to eternal glory.
\nThe exciting \u201cThe Way to Valhalla\u201d coin series will consist of 12 coins. The collection will allow you to immerse yourself in the very heart of the Viking world, where the air is permeated with fascinating stories from Scandinavian myths.<\/p>\n
The fourth coin in the series is dedicated to Leif Eriksson, an ancient Scandinavian explorer, presumably from Iceland, who charted a course to the shores of North America long before Columbus. According to the Icelandic sagas, he founded a Scandinavian settlement in Vinland, which is usually interpreted as coastal North America. According to Icelandic legends, Leif and his crew did not travel blindly, but based on eyewitness accounts of unknown lands on the horizon. Thus, in a sense, America was discovered even earlier than the year 1000. However, it was Leif who first made a full expedition along the shores of Vinland, gave it a name, landed on the coast, and even attempted to colonize it. The stories of Leif and his people, which formed the basis of the Scandinavian “Saga of Erik the Red” and “Saga of the Greenlanders”, were the basis for the first maps of Vinland.<\/p>\n
This premium coin pays tribute to Eriksson’s daring travels and the legendary path that led him to Valhalla.<\/p>\n
