This exciting new three-coin series celebrates some of the most well-known gods featured in ancient Norse mythology. Each coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish. The second coin features Thor, the god of thunder and defender of the Aesir gods and their fortress, Asgard, from the giants whom he slayed as he rode across the sky in a chariot drawn by goats. One of his greatest enemies is the sea serpent Jormungand who encircles Midgard, the world of human civilisation. Historically, Thor’ s symbols include a hammer, called Mjollnir, a deadly weapon also associated with lightning and thunder. He also had iron gloves and a belt that doubled his strength when worn, and owned the staff Gríearvolr. As a weather god he was associated with the fertility of the Earth. He was also regarded as a guide for those travelling over the sea because of his power over storms and wind. ——— ——– TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS —————— —————-. Silver Content (Troy oz).
