Issued on August 8, this is the fourth coin in the series featuring ships as its common theme, and is dedicated to the reconstructed Viking long ship the Sea Stallion.

The Sea Stallion from Glendalough is the world's largest reconstruction of a thousand-year-old Viking long ship, built in the boatyard of the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. On July 1, 2007 the Sea Stallion set sail from Roskilde on a voyage of 1,145 nautical miles to Dublin. The long ship was laid up in Dublin for the winter and returned to Roskilde on August 9, 2008.

The reverse shows the Sea Stallion at sea with Roskilde Cathedral in the background. The obverse is the standard 20-krone design with Queen Margrethe's portrait.
