| Additional information |
The Isle of Man has issued Viking-themed coinage for decades partly because of genuine historical standing — Norse settlers established the island's parliament, the Tynwald, around the 9th century, making it one of the oldest continuous legislative assemblies in the world. That institutional claim gives these issues more grounding than most commemorative Viking coinage, which typically trades on romanticism alone.
At a kilogram of fine silver, this was among the last large-format crown-weight issues bearing Elizabeth II's effigy before her death in September 2022.
