The 2000 Leif Ericson 2-coin silver proof set features the US and Icelandic coins commemorating the 1000th anniversary of his discovery of the "New World". The coins come in the original government packaging (including a display holder, box, and outer sleeve), with a certificate of authenticity.

Both coins have a specified weight of 26.73 grams and are composed of 90% silver / 10% alloy with a proof finish. Both were minted in Philadelphia, though only the US version has the "P" mint mark. The US coin has a face value of $1, and the Icelandic version has a value of 1000 kronur.
