The Tale of the Vasa

The Vasa’s maiden voyage in the 17th century ended in tragedy, sinking just minutes after setting sail and resulting in the loss of 30 passengers. The reasons for its sinking remain a topic of intrigue and speculation. Remarkably, in 1961, the ship was recovered with 98% of its original wood intact, earning the title of “the most spectacular warship ever built”. This coin beautifully encapsulates the Vasa’s legacy, making it a timeless piece for any collection.
