| Reverse description | A Viking longship with a carved dragonhead prow and a large billowing sail occupies the upper portion of the field, depicted in fine relief against a polished background. Below the hull, prominently rendered in the lower field, is a highly detailed filigree brooch from the renowned Viking-age Hiddensee treasure hoard, featuring interlocking decorative knot-work typical of late 10th-century Scandinavian goldsmithing. The legend TREASURE OF HIDDENSEE curves along the right and upper periphery, while the denomination 10 PA'ANGA is inscribed along the lower left. |
