Son of Harald Fairhair and bearer of one of the most fearsome names in Viking history — Eric Bloodaxe carved his path to power through fire and kinship blood alike. King of Norway and twice ruler of Northumbria, he embodied the raw, uncompromising spirit of the Norse age, where thrones were claimed by the sword and held by sheer force of will. Struck from 2 oz of .999 fine silver with an antique finish, this coin portrays Eric enthroned with his bloodied axe — the very symbol of his ruthless reign. Digital printing brings a visceral edge to the scene, with crimson accents on the blade and the gemstone of his crown cutting through the cold antique silver. Part of The Way to Valhalla collection, this issue honors a ruler whose legend was written not in ink, but in blood and iron. Extremely limited to just 500 pieces worldwide. A fierce tribute for collectors drawn to the legends of the Viking age.
