NORSE GODDESSES:
FRIGG
POPULAR SERIES, LOW MINTAGE
, 2 Oz, pure 99.99% silver rimless coin with high-relief
antiqued finish
Central to accounts of Norse mythology are the plights of the gods, goddesses, and their interaction with various other beings, such as with the
jötnar
, who may be friends, lovers, foes and/or family members of the gods.
The second coin in the sought after Perth Mint’s
"Norse Goddesses"
series features
Frigg
, the goddess of love, marriage, destiny, the sky, and weaving. She is said to have weaved the clouds to control the weather, and the threads of fate to determine the destiny of men and gods alike.
Frigg is also depicted as a goddess of fertility, household management, motherhood, and domestic arts. She is considered the protector of birthing women and was called upon by those who were dying to help them transition to the afterlife.
Giving her name to the English weekday name Friday (“Frīge’s day”), Frigg is described in nearly all sources as the wife of the god Odin and is the goddess associated with foreknowledge and wisdom in Norse mythology, the northernmost branch of Germanic mythology and most extensively attested. Frigg dwells in the wetland halls of Fensalir, is associated with the goddesses Fulla, Lofn, Hlín, and Gná, and is ambiguously associated with the Earth, otherwise personified as an apparently separate entity Jörð (Old Norse “Earth”). The children of Frigg and Odin include the gleaming god Baldr.
Reverse
: depicts Frigg sitting on Odin’s high seat cradling a newborn baby in one arm and holding a rose quartz pendant in the other. Also featured is a falcon, white candles, and woven threads. The inscription FRIGG and The Perth Mint’s traditional ‘P’ mintmark also feature in the design.
Obverse
: Issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu, the coin’s obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2017 year-date, and the monetary denomination.
Packaging

#1244
) and packaged in a themed shipper.

To capture the depth and detail of the design, the
coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format
and has been individually “antiqued” to give it a
unique finish
conveying the surface abrasions of an ancient artifact. As a result of this treatment, the appearance of each coin may vary.
