The Berserker V2 Coin
A berserker was said to have fought in a trance-like fury, a characteristic that later gave rise to the modern English word berserk meaning “furiously violent or out of control.” Frenzy warriors wore the skins of wolves called Ulfheðnar. Wolf pelts were said to be worn over their chainmail when they fought.
The front of this coin features a male berserker ready for battle, wearing a wolf pelt. Screaming, entering his trance like state this berserker is out for blood.
A Norse ship with a warrior is depicted on the back of the coin. He has reached Vahalla. The words until Vahalla carry a special meaning for these fierce warriors. Those who should fall in battle would discover that Vahalla awaited them beyond death if they should die. "Until Vahalla" is a simple, but powerful message: dying in honor and valor is the greatest distinction in life.
So fight my friend, with honor and valor, and I will see you in Vahalla.
