Loki is one of the most well-known and reviled characters from Norse mythology. In the recent Thor feature films, Loki is depicted as a being of pure evil with no good intentions in his being. Loki belongs to a group of mean gods in Norse mythology, and is known as the god of fire and evil. Though the other gods are accepting of him, he is constantly scheming against them.
In the unique design on the 2016 2 oz Cook Islands Silver Norse God Loki Proof Coin, the features of the image include many of the animals that Loki was known to transform into. He had the one-of-a-kind power in Norse mythology to change his appearance to anything he wanted, such as a horse, eagle, fish, or even a fly. Each of these characters are included in the background design.
On the reverse face of the coin you’ll find the image of Loki in the foreground, wearing a horrifying mask with tall horns. In the background, you’ll notice many of the animals he was believed to change into on a regular basis.
The obverse of the 2016 2 oz Cook Islands Silver Norse God Loki Proof coin features the now-familiar portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Created in 1998 by Ian Rank-Broadley, this is the fourth-generation image of Her Majesty since she ascended to the crown in 1952.
These coins are a product of the BH Mayer Mint in Germany. Founded in 1871, it is privately-owned and operated under fifth-generation management by the same family.
