VIKING SHIP ON COINS

Post by aukepalmhof » Wed Aug 01, 2018 8:25 pm

Iceland issued in 1969 two stamps for the Centenary of Nordic Cooperation. Commemorating the centenary of the first postal Nordic co-operation and the 50th anniversary of the "Norden Association". Five commercial ships (Viking Ships) taken from five different silver coins, dated about the year 825, found at Björkö in Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birka#Bjö ... gical_site
