| Reverse description | A bold bust of Leif Eiríksson, the Norse explorer credited with the discovery of North America, is depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in high relief wearing Viking-era chainmail armour and a conical helmet with flowing hair beneath. He holds a large battle axe in his lowered left hand, with a sword scabbard visible at his waist. The denomination '1000' and the millennium year '2000' appear in the left field, flanking the figure. The engravers' initials 'PM' and 'TJF' appear in the lower right field. The surrounding legend, separated by a central dot, reads in Icelandic, identifying Leif Eiríksson as son of Iceland and discoverer of North America. |
