Obverse

On the obverse of Silver Archer Viking Bars, you will find a powerful Viking figure. This individual serves as an archer in a Viking army. He wears an imposing, horned helmet and stands in slight left-profile relief. His left arm is extended clutching his large bow, while his right hand draws back an arrow to unleash on his enemies. The field includes ornate Viking artwork in the four corners.

Reverse

The reverse side of 5 oz Silver Archer Viking Bars comes with the image of a Viking longboat. This design is common across all silver bars in the 5 oz Viking Series. It depicts the dual-bow design of a longboat with the shields of the warriors slung over the sides, oars for rowing in shallow-draft areas, and a single main sail. Inscriptions include 5 TROY OZ, 999 FINE SILVER, and the Monarch Precious Metals mint mark.

History

The Vikings had a massive impact on the landscape of Europe between the 8th century and the 11th century. From a military standpoint, Viking raiders pillaged coastal regions throughout Northern Europe and even took control of portions of the British Isles. As traders and sailors, the Vikings were the first Europeans to reach the New World and would sail as far away as Constantinople and Iran to trade with other cultures.
