I opened one Christmas gift just a little early this year!

Aethelred

This was a gift from my boss:

ICELAND 1930 medalic coinage commemorating the 1000th year of the Althing.

Coins in original box


Silver 10 Kronur




Silver 5 Kronur




Bronze 2 Kronur




This particular set is meaningful to me in that it has been owned by every important Asheville coin dealer of the last 50 years. I'll tell it's full story when I have more time.

I love the runes on the reverse of the 2K, more coins should have runes on them!
