The coin comes in two editions: silver-plated (NOK 500) and gold-plated (NOK 1,000). Each coin is presented in an elegant folder that tells the story of the original ship, the first replica\u00a0VIKING\u00a0(built in Sandefjord in 1893), and the world\u2019s most widely traveled Viking ship,\u00a0GAIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also includes information about\u00a0SAGA GOKSTAD, currently under construction through a unique collaboration between Sandefjord and T\u00f8nsberg. For the first time, an archaeological replica of the Gokstad ship is being built, based on extensive research in cooperation with the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo and the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. The construction uses tools and methods from the Viking Age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front of the coin features the elegant prow of the Gokstad ship, while the back shows side profiles of Vestfold\u2019s three original Viking ships:\u00a0GOKSTAD,\u00a0OSEBERG, and\u00a0KL\u00c5STAD. The latter two have already been replicated by the Oseberg Viking Heritage Foundation, while the Gokstad ship is now under construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany people like to support our work in showcasing Vestfold\u2019s unique Viking heritage,\u201d says Knut B\u00f8rge Knutsen, board member and kiosk manager at Vikingodden. \u201cNow we can offer something tangible in return. The coin and its folder will serve as a lasting memento and souvenir \u2014 or even a special gift.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B\u00f8rge adds that the coins will soon be available for sale both at Vikingodden in T\u00f8nsberg and in Sandefjord\u2019s Viking Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
