Viking Coin Making Workshop, The British Museum

As part of a 'Viking Invasion', I wrote and led a workshop for children to make their own version of a Viking coin.

Looking at the penny issued by King Cnut, children designed both faces of the coin first - one with a portrait of themselves as a Viking Leader, and the other with a symbol which represented something they like or believe in.

We then embossed our 'silver' with the designs, and went through the steps to make a personalised Viking coin.
