In the Norse Goddesses Series, the Perth Mint offers three different designs honoring the primary goddesses of Norse mythology. The program launched with Freya, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. The second coin featured Frigg, the goddess of love, marriage, and destiny. It concludes with the release of the 2017 2 oz Tuvalu Norse Goddesses Hel Coin.
The goddess Hel is the guardian of the realm of Hel, known better to the Western world as hell. She is the goddess of the underworld and receives a portion of the dead, particularly those who fall during battle. She is said to be the daughter of Loki and was appointed by the father of the gods, Odin, to rule over the realm of the dead.
Each of these 2017 2 oz Tuvalu Norse Goddesses Hel Silver Coins has a high-relief striking that brings the intricate details on the reverse to life in a new way. The coins are individually antiqued to give them an ancient appeal, which is furthered by the use of rimless blanks that mimics the look of ancient coinage.
On the reverse of the Hel Silver Coin you’ll find the intricately detailed depiction of Hel. The only engravings on the reverse side of the coin is Hel’s name and the “P” mint mark of the Perth Mint.
The obverse of all 2017 2 oz Tuvalu Norse Goddesses Hel Silver High Relief Coins includes the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is featured on the obverse of all commonwealth coins, and is captured in right-profile relief. This is a 1998 depiction by Ian Rank-Broadley representing the fourth-generation depiction of the Queen during her long reign.
