Artefacts Silver Coin: Gungnir 2026 BU, 1 ounce

This silver coin is issued in a limited mintage of only 5,000 pieces

Gungnir is one of the most extraordinary weapons in Norse mythology—a mighty spear belonging to Odin, ruler of Asgard and god of war, wisdom, and magic. According to legend, it was forged by the Sons of Ivaldi, talented dwarven craftsmen who created an artifact worthy of the father of the gods himself. Its greatest marvel was its reliability—when thrown by Odin, it always struck its intended target, and no obstacle could stop it from reaching its opponent. Gungnir became a symbol of divine power, inevitable fate, and victory, and Odin would begin battles by hurling the spear over the heads of the combatants as a sign of their dedication to their god. Its significance, however, extended beyond battle itself—Gungnir was also a symbol of power, wisdom, and irreversible decisions.

The coin depicts the extraordinary history of the legendary spear, presenting its obverse and reverse as two designs dedicated to the world of the Norse gods. The blade and the rim are inscribed with runic symbols that allude to the mysterious magic and supernatural power of Gungnir. Above the hilt is an intricately decorated guard bearing the image of Odin riding Sleipnir, his mighty eight-legged steed. The ruler of Asgard is accompanied by the ravens Huginn and Muninn, symbolizing thought and memory, respectively, while the composition also features Fenrir, whose presence evokes the coming Ragnarök. The richness of detail, runic ornamentation, and monumental style lend the depiction of Gungnir an almost divine character, underscoring the stature of one of the most powerful weapons in Norse legend.
