    I saw one of these coins about a month ago, and really liked it. After a little research, I found that it was part of a 3 coin set.

    Well, I had to have em... Received these from Iceland today.

    Neat! I like the runes on the edge of the reverse of the last one.

    Those are great--and the history behind the Althing is fascinating. In the modern era it has resulted in the actual representation of the Pirate Party in politics.

    It's just wikipedia, but a fun thing to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Althing

    Looked these up on the 'bay. Yeah... I won't be buying any time soon. Another for the "some day" wishlist. :)
