Silver Ounce Bar (2024) Norse Gods - Odin, Coin from United Kingdom - detailed information

The Royal Mint of the United Kingdom, which makes the country's circulating coinage, is also very active in the bullion coinage space and issues many bullion coins which are legal tender.

Additionally, it also makes bullion which is not legal tender and is targeted at investors and not at coin collectors - such as this one.

This bar is part of a series featuring Norse Gods, and is dedicated to Odin.

The Royal Mint says about it:
"The stories of Norse mythology have fascinated and captured imaginations for millennia. Worshipped by Scandinavians during the Viking Age, including those who settled in Britain, the Norse gods central to this mythology are complex supernatural beings – fearsome and mighty yet simultaneously comic and mischievous. 

Odin is the father of the Norse gods who reside in Asgard, the celestial realm. The All-Father is also known as ‘Lord of the Slain’, as fallen warriors are chosen to join Odin in Valhalla, the great hall where they drink, feast and fight until Ragnarök, the twilight of the gods. 

For this beautiful minted bullion bar, the All-Father majestically sits at the forefront of the design clutching his mighty spear, Gungnir. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on his shoulders and his wolves, Geri and Freki, lie at his feet."

The series was developed as a cooperation between the Royal Mint and Germania Mint. The bars were designed and struck by the Royal Mint, which also distributes them in the United Kingdom, while Germania Mint distributes them elsewhere.
