2022 Germania Beasts Fenrir 1 oz Silver Coin NGC PF70 First Releases
Germania Beasts Continue With The Wolf Of Ragnarök. On its surface, the Norse tale of Fenrir is about a gigantic monster whose escape from imprisonment and subsequent rampage initiates the end of the world. But a deeper dive into the tale shows that the wolf was repaying the Norse god for their mistreatment of him. In the end, Fenrir and all the Norse gods meet their end in Ragnarök: The Twilight of the Gods. But Fenrir lives again thanks to the Germania Mint as the second release in the Germania Mint Beasts Series.
Struck in a full ounce of 99.99% pure silver, this stunning medal depicts the famous giant wolf from Viking lore as a slavering, vengeful lupine monster. Fenrir's horrible visage fills the medal's obverse while on the reverse you'll see the Germania Mint's Coat of Arms encircled by the heavy chains that were meant to bind the beast's legs for all eternity.
Spoiler alert: the chains didn't work! The designs were crafted so that if one places two medals side by side, one obverse side up and one reverse side up, they form the whole of the wolf from head to tail.Fenrir And The Twilight Of The Gods. According to Norse folklore, Fenrir was a giant wolf that was raised in Asgard under the tutelage of Odin, the All-Father. When Odin had a vision that Fenrir would ultimately kill him during Ragnarök, he had the beast gagged with a sword, and bound by the magical chains of Gleipnir to a rock on the island of Lyngvi, a desolate extinct volcano located in the middle of a lonely lake. Fenris fulfills his destiny to initiate Ragnarök when, after suffering years of unimaginable torment, he howls so loudly that it causes an earthquake that tosses boulders in the air and makes the ground and mountains tremble forming deep fractures in the ground.
The earthquake breaks Fenrir's chains and now, released from his prison, he tracks down Odin, defeats him in battle and eats him, after which he is killed by Odin's son Vidar, who stabs the wolf in the heart and tears its jaws apart. Odin's more famous son, Thor, was busy fighting Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, in a battle that would the death of them both! Flawless Medals From Among The First Released.
