| Reverse description | A detailed high-relief depiction of a Viking longship under full square sail, navigating turbulent open seas with waves breaking at the bow and along the hull. The vessel features a characteristic clinker-built hull, a dragon-headed prow, and a large rectangular sail with rigging lines rendered in fine detail. The inscription VIKING LONGSHIP arcs along the upper legend, while 25 DOLLARS appears in the lower field. The design is framed by a decorative border of stylised rectangular notches evocative of Norse shield ornamentation. |
