| Reverse description | A Viking longship under full sail is depicted in the centre of the field, navigating open waters rendered with fine wave lines along the lower portion. Behind and around the vessel, a stylised map of the North Atlantic coastlines — including recognisable outlines of Europe and North America — fills the field, evoking the Norse discovery of Vinland circa 1000 AD. The Gothic legend 'Vinland' curves across the upper-right of the field. The dual dates '1000' and '1985' flank the ship in the lower field, referencing both the historical voyage and the year of issue. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

Beyond its catalog classification, the historical and political circumstances surrounding this specific issue are not sufficiently documented to state with confidence.
