Description
The reverse image by Alexandra Lefort depicts the battle between Thor and Jšrmungandr at Ragnaršk, an end-of-days event in Norse mythology. Clad in the finest clothing and armour of the Viking era, the Norse god of thunder stands with his hammer raised, ready to strike the coiled serpent. Selective gold plating highlights Thor's hammer (Mjšllnir), iron gloves (J‡rngreipr) and belt (Megingjšr_). A Norse art-inspired pattern lines the rim on the obverse and reverse, which both feature an antiqued finish. The gold-plated goat heads represent Tanngrisnir and Tanngnj—str, who pull Thor's chariot, while the gold-plated Mjšllnir is based on a 10th-century silver pendant. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
First of three coins dedicated to powerful Norse gods. The son of Odin and Jord, Thor is the ultimate Norse warrior. His courage and brawn make him the ideal defender of Asgard, one of the nine worlds.
