    "The Vikings" is the first issue in the new ‘Afterlife – Rites of Passage’ series and shows the burial rites of a fallen Viking king on the reverse and the afterlife ‘Valhalla’ on the obverse.

    Description: "The obverse shows a Viking burial ceremony. A Viking village and relatives of the deceased are in the background. On the lower right is the helmet of the fallen king who lays on the ship with all his most important belongings. It’s set on fire by arrows. The sail is colored in Viking colors. The reverse side of the coin depicts Valhalla in the background with the rainbow bridge Bifröst in the front. On the right side is the golden Glasir tree which stand in front of the eternal Hall. The Coat of Arms of Palau is inserted on the right with the inscriptions: “REPUBLIC OF PALAU” (the issuing country) and “2021” (the year of issue) and “10 DOLLARS” (the face value) on the rainbow bridge."

    Great detail but woefully historically inaccurate, not that art needs to be...
