Silver Two Ounces 2016 Norse Gods - Thor, Coin from Tuvalu - detailed information
| ||||||
The Tuvaluan Dollar is the currency of Tuvalu - a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu has never had banknotes of its own, and has been issuing coins since 1976; these circulate together with coins of the Australian Dollar, which is also legal tender in the country, and to which the Tuvaluan Dollar is pegged. The Australian Perth Mint issues a large variety of non-circulating legal tender coins under the authority of Tuvalu. Some of these are in the silver two-ounce format (abbreviated as 2 oz). Strictly speaking, they are not bullion as they are priced at a premium and are targeted at collectors who appreciate them for their artistic merit and collectable value and not just for their precious metal content. This coin is the second release in the Norse Gods series of premium bullion coins by the Perth Mint, and is dedicated to Thor. According to ancient Norse mythology, Thor was a hammer-wielding, god of thunder. He is associated with lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind and also healing and fertility. Thor was the son of Odin and Fyorgyn, the Earth goddess. His wife was Sif, a goddess who was also linked to fertility. The coin has antique finish and a rimless design (which extends to the edge without a border). | ||||||
