2022 Germania Mint 1-oz Silver Germania Beasts Fenrir Geminus Ennobled Medal 2-pc Set NGC MS70 First Releases

Germania Beasts Continue With The Wolf Of Ragnarök

On its surface, the Norse tale of Fenrir is about a gigantic monster whose escape from imprisonment and subsequent rampage initiates the end of the world. But a deeper dive into the tale shows that the wolf was repaying the Norse god for their mistreatment of him. In the end, Fenrir and all the Norse gods meet their end in Ragnarök: The Twilight of the Gods. But Fenrir lives again thanks to this two-piece set struck by the Germania Mint as part of the second release in the Germania Mint Beasts Series.

Struck in 99.99% pure silver, each stunning one-ounce medal depicts the famous giant wolf from Viking lore as a slavering, vengeful lupine monster. Fenrir’s horrible visage fills the medal’s obverse while on the reverse you’ll see the Germania Mint’s Coat of Arms encircled by the heavy chains that were meant to bind the beast’s legs for all eternity. Spoiler alert: the chains didn’t work! The designs were crafted so that if one places two medals side by side, one obverse side up and one reverse side up, they form the whole of the wolf from head to tail—which is exactly what this set allows you to do because the two medals come in an Infinity double capsule that displays the two medals side by side.

Coated With Layers Of Gold, Ruthenium, And Palladium

What’s more, these amazing medals feature what the Germania Mint calls its Geminus Ennobling, meaning they have been lavished with layers of gold, ruthenium, and palladium. Different from the other medals in the series, these pieces take on a different appearance thanks to the precious metals that have been applied. One medal in your set shows Fenrir covered by ruthenium against a field of gold, his fur gilded in palladium while the other is the opposite showing Fenrir covered by gold against a field of ruthenium. You’re sure to love the two metal patterns—especially when paired together!

Fenrir And The Twilight Of The Gods

According to Norse folklore, Fenrir was a giant wolf that was raised in Asgard under the tutelage of Odin, the All-Father. When Odin had a vision that Fenrir would ultimately kill him during Ragnarök, he had the beast gagged with a sword, and bound by the magical chains of Gleipnir to a rock on the island of Lyngvi, a desolate extinct volcano located in the middle of a lonely lake. Fenris fulfills his destiny to initiate Ragnarök when, after suffering years of unimaginable torment, he howls so loudly that it causes an earthquake that tosses boulders in the air and makes the ground and mountains tremble forming deep fractures in the ground. The earthquake breaks Fenrir’s chains and now, released from his prison, he tracks down Odin, defeats him in battle and eats him, after which he is killed by Odin’s son Vidar, who stabs the wolf in the heart and tears its jaws apart. (Odin’s more famous son, Thor, was busy fighting Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, in a battle that would be the death of them both!)
