There is no shortage of fearsome tales about the achievements of Viking raiders in Europe between the 9^th and 12^th centuries. Expanding out from Scandinavia, Vikings raided the British Isles and mainland Europe, and even used their seafaring expertise to land in present-day Greenland and Iceland.

The new 37 oz Antique Viking Berserker Silver Statue available to you here today is based on the design Aleksey Saburov created in the most recent edition of Hobo Nickel Silver Rounds. This stunning statue offers a glimpse of just how fearless Viking Berserker warriors were as he stands with heated intensity in his eyes wielding an ax to defend his ship.

Viking Berserkers were among the first elite soldiers of the ancient world. The Viking Age, an era when the Vikings spread across Europe and the North Atlantic from Norway, began in 793 AD when a Viking longship landed in northeast England in Northumberland. From there, the Vikings would spend two centuries struggling back and forth with the Saxons for control of England.

The Viking Berserker’s name has a simple enough translation and etymology. The word berserk comes from the combination of the Old Norse words “ber” and “serkr.” The term literally translates as “bear coat.” Berserkers were known for wearing only these bearskins into battle rather than traditional armor. Of course, if you think about it, one would have to be a bit crazy to do so as the bear doesn’t willingly give up its fur. It would take a madman to take it from him!

The 37 oz Antique Viking Berserker Silver Statue features a single warrior standing in his longship as a sea serpent wraps its body around the hull and threatens to pull it beneath the waves. Berserkers were known for their intense and fierce skill in battle, with many accounts suggesting these men were almost in a trance that enabled them to fight harder and exhibit an immunity to pain. This Viking Berserker is clearly not afraid of the serpent as he wields his double-headed ax and is ready to go down with his ship.
