| Reversbeschreibung | The central device depicts a stylized crozier (bishop's pastoral staff) rendered in bold relief, its head formed by two volutes decorated with intricate Viking-age interlace ornament, commemorating the millennium of Christianity in Iceland. The circular legend '+ KRISTNI Í ÞÚSUND ÁR +' arcs across the upper field, while the dates '1000' and '2000' flank the base of the crozier in the lower field, separated by cross motifs, all set against a deeply mirrored proof background. |

Issued to commemorate the millennium of Christianity's formal adoption in Iceland, this coin marks a specific event: the Althing's decision at Þingvellir in the year 1000 AD, when the lawspeaker Þorgeirr Ljósvetningagoði brokered a compromise between the island's pagan and Christian factions, ultimately declaring Iceland Christian to preserve social cohesion. The decision was political as much as spiritual — open conflict between the two camps had become a genuine threat to the republic's stability.
Iceland's gold coinage is extremely limited in scope; the Seðlabanki has issued gold pieces only for significant commemorative occasions, making this among a very small number of legal-tender gold issues from the country.
