| Additional information |
Kristján Eldjárn, honored on this issue, was not only Iceland's third president but the country's foremost archaeologist — the man who systematically excavated and catalogued Viking Age settlement sites across Iceland before entering politics. His 1956 work on pagan graves remains a foundational reference in Norse archaeology. The Seðlabanki issued this commemorative shortly after his death in 1982, though the 1994 striking reflects continued demand within a collector series that ran across multiple Icelandic presidential figures.
