Ensemble de 3 pièces 1 once d'argent Dieux nordiques 2019 Monnaie royale canadienne

A fun coin gift for someone who enjoys the Norse gods! Subscribe today!

Norse mythology has influenced the way we tell stories and given rise to everyday words, including some days of the week—Wednesday for Odin, Thursday for Thor, and Friday for Frigg. The Norse gods and giants are even part of Canada’s multicultural heritage: they’re the folk heroes of Scandinavian Canadians who made their home all over Canada, in places such as Gimli, Manitoba, a community named for the heavenly hall of the righteous after Ragnarök.

We’re combining history and myth in a new series dedicated to Norse gods—and it begins with the hammer-wielding god of thunder: Thor. In the time of Canada’s Viking Age (c. 1000), quick-tempered Thor was one of the most admired figures of Norse faith and lore. It is from him that we get the word “Thursday” (Thor’s Day). His legendary strength and fearlessness are evident on your coin, where the apocalyptic battle scene is enhanced with selective gold plating and an antiqued finish—a first-time combination worthy of the ultimate warrior.
