Viking themed chips (1 Viewer)

[KatDad]

A couple years back I saw some pretty amazing ceramic Viking themed chips with different symbols for each denom such as a Viking shield, helmet, ship, etc. Very similar to the Egyptians I currently own. Cannot seem to locate the images online any longer. Wondering if any of you are aware of such a set or where to find them if you do?

The company that made those made this video, but it looks like they’re out of business.

I'm sure @BonScot could come up with something appropriate.

Cool idea, I love Vikings related movies/TV shows. What would make a good cash set is all of the Viking gods.

Genius. Those are the ones. Love this theme. Thank you for the link.

Knives and a shield?? Come on man! It's all about the beard!! Embrace the beard!! Go with customs designed around something like this! Lol

The more gnarly the beard... the better the chip set!! You are also more than welcome to use my beard! Lmao sorry I had to!

ahh... now what an ugly chip design!

Vikings probably never wore helmets with horns on them.

So you are saying there is a chance in my normal everyday attire I would have been accepted amongst my Viking peers? None of these damn fancy beard braiding classes were even necessary... never mind the $5k I spent on my custom Helmet... geeze! Lol

They sent me a sample set. Great design.

That is a pretty epic beard.

It couldn't hurt to dye your beard blond....

How about a Viking chip set with hairy edgespots?

How about a set with just Shield Maidens? I have some ideas.

These are awesome! Does anyone here actually have any of these chips? I'm imagining a tribute set done on the 43mm flat ceramic blanks that the Chinese cards mold companies produce for less than 30 cents a chip. Anyone else up for this?

The site listed in the video is no longer operating, so not sure how permission could be obtained to copy them, if that would even be necessary. Another option if none of the actual chips are available would be a re-design that's similar, but not identical.

I see we do have examples here. Read your post. You mentioned something about the denominations not being that great. Maybe we could revise some of them in a re-do.

The 10 and 50 chips just aren’t that useful. If the design could be redone with fractional chips, it would be great. Orange .05, blue .25, maybe?

I think the design makes great use of the full printing available on ceramics. Too bad they couldn’t make it.

Thanks! I agree. nickel and quarter would be great. So everyone can see these, I'm posting a pic from your other thread, if that's OK. Let me know if not and I'll remove it.
