Viking Berserker warriors were the champion warriors of Norse society. Tales of the Berserkers are found throughout Icelandic sagas, which chronical the trance-like fury with which these warriors fought on the field of battle. As if their physical appearance wasn’t frightening enough, Viking Berserkers seemed to fear no man in battle.
On the reverse of the 5 oz Antique Viking Berserker Round you’ll find the image of a Berserker warrior. This Viking soldier is captured with a horned helmet, braided hair, and a double-headed battle axe in his hands. His mighty swing of the axe delivers enough power to decimate any opponent on the field of battle.
The obverse of the Viking Berserker Rounds includes the design of a Viking longship under attack by a dragon. The valiant warriors powering the famed Viking craft attempt to fight off the attack without fear of death. Engravings on both sides of the round reflect those of the original Buffalo Nickel, with “Liberty” and a year of issue on this side, as well as a face value, nation of issue, and “E Pluribus Unum” on the reverse.
The Hobo Nickel Series in 2017 offers new designs from the 2016 issue and each one comes from a different designer in this year. Aleksey Saburov created the Viking Berserker round, the 9th release from HotCo’s famed Hobo Nickel Series.

“The engraving is A and the subject matter is excellent. Since I’m of Norwegion (sp) ancestry it’s even more apelling. Thank you, it’s my favorite. John”
