Lagertha enters The Way to Valhalla as one of the fiercest women of Norse legend — a shieldmaiden whose name survives through Saxo Grammaticus’ Gesta Danorum. In Saxo’s account, she fought among the bravest beside Ragnar Lothbrok, her loosened hair revealing the woman behind the warrior and her courage helping turn the battle.
In this premium 2 oz .999 silver coin by MINT XXI, Lagertha is captured at the front line: blade drawn, shield raised, war paint cutting across her gaze. High relief gives the figure sculptural force, while digital printing sharpens the crimson accents and battle-worn atmosphere against the antique finish. The scene feels immediate and relentless — a tribute to a warrior shaped in the uncertain space between chronicle and myth.
Part of The Way to Valhalla, one of MINT XXI’s bestselling collections, this issue continues the journey through the most formidable figures of the Viking world. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, Lagertha is made for collectors drawn to warrior names that stand at the edge of history and myth.
