Cameroon 2024 2000 Francs CFA FREYDIS EIRIKSDOTTIR - The Way to Valhalla - 2 oz .999 Silver Coin

• Third release in The Way to Valhalla series, featuring Freydis Eiriksdottir
• 2 troy oz (62.2 g) of .999 silver, with a 50 mm diameter
• High-relief portrait with a digitally coloured red fur cloak and an antiqued finish
• Mintage of 500, with presentation case, certificate of authenticity and free collector book

A crimson fur cloak frames Freydis Eiriksdottir as she rests a sword across her shoulder, her patterned shield filling the foreground. Braided hair, layered fur and the bird above her shoulder give the high-relief portrait a richly worked texture. Selective digital colour draws the eye to the cloak, while the antiqued silver brings contrast to the shield’s geometric ornament and the Viking ship behind her.

The third issue in The Way to Valhalla series follows Ragnar and Erik the Red, turning to a heroine associated with the Norse voyages to North America. In the saga account recalled by the design, Freydis stands her ground when her companions retreat, a story of fierce resolve rather than a verified historical episode. Limited to 500 pieces, this 2 oz silver issue gives that defiance a sculptural presence. Make room for a Viking heroine at FORTYMILLION.
