Beschrijving keerzijde The central design depicts Ingólfur Arnarson, the first Norse settler of Iceland, standing aboard a Viking longship under full sail. He is shown in the act of casting his high-seat pillars (öndvegissúlur) into the sea, following the Norse tradition of allowing the gods to determine the site of settlement. The scene commemorates the 1100th anniversary of the first settlement of Iceland, ca. 874 AD, with the dates '874-1974' inscribed in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

Issued to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of Iceland's settlement, traditionally dated to 874 AD when Ingólfr Arnarson established his farmstead at Reykjavík. The Central Bank produced this as part of a coordinated series of commemorative gold and silver pieces — Iceland's first domestically issued gold coinage since independence, and one of the few gold emissions the republic has ever authorized.

Mintages were tightly controlled and the pieces saw no circulation.
