Antique Norse God Series silver rounds are a creation of the Anonymous Mint’s Julie Lindquist. Lindquist and Italian sculptor Luigi Badia brought the artworks of renowned artist Howard David Johnson to life on these brilliant silver rounds. The series includes five different designs used on a total of 10 rounds, with each god appearing on a 1 oz and 5 oz round.
These 5 oz Antique Norse God Series Hel Silver Rounds have a mirrored, proof finish as well as antique appearance. The inclusion of an antique patina adds age and beauty to the design of the round without exposing it to wear and tear through handling, and brings warmth and subtle depth to the overall design.
On the obverse face of the round is the image of the Goddess Hel. Translated roughly into English, her name is Hell and reflects her position as the Goddess of Death and Goddess of the Underworld in Norse mythology. It is said that half of those who die in the human world go to Hel, and the others join Odin.
The reverse of all 5 oz Antique Norse God Series Hel Silver Rounds features the image of a lone Valkyrie rider. The Valkyrie were riders chosen by Odin to be the selectors of death. They would ride their steeds in the sky above the battlefield of mankind, selecting who would die and who would live.
