During the Viking Age, prior to their conversion to Christianity, Scandinavians, including those who settled in Britain, worshipped a pantheon of Norse gods. The stories of these deities have endured for millennia, continuing to fascinate and enthral as they are retold and reinterpreted.   The Norse gods are led by Odin, the father of the gods known as the All-Father who sacrificed one of his eyes to gain knowledge. Odin is also lord of Valhalla, the celestial great hall where fallen warriors ascend to feast, drink and fight.   The first bar in our collection honouring the gods of Asgard pays tribute to Odin. Featuring a design in which the All-Father sits in majesty upon a throne, Odin is shown clutching his almighty spear, Gungnir, whilst his ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on his shoulders and his wolves, Geri and Freki, lie at his feet.  A limited mintage of 7,000 The first design in a new collection of bars honouring the gods of Norse mythology The reverse design depicts Odin, chieftain of the Aesir, sitting upon a throne  Features a design created by Dan Thorne, a product designer at The Royal Mint Minted in ten ounces of 999.9 fine silver  A beautiful, precious gift for those interested in Norse mythology Also available as a 20-gramme gold and one ounce silver edition
