Odin 2026, 1/200 ounce of fine gold, design side
Odin stands facing the viewer, with a spear and two ravens. To this day, one day of the week bears his name: Wednesday.
The names in our week
Three names we say every week.
Thursday, Friday and Wednesday still carry names from this world of gods. In German, Donnerstag and Freitag do too, formed on the model of the Roman week, but Mittwoch has lost its old name.
- ThursdayThorThe day of Thor, whose name is the Germanic word for thunder. In German it is Donnerstag, the day of Donar, translated from the Latin day of Jupiter.
- FridayFriggThe day of the goddess Frija, called Frigg in the North, modelled on the Latin day of Venus. Her name is in Friday and in the German Freitag.
- WednesdayOdinWednesday kept the older name, the day of Wodan, called Odin in the North, as did the Dutch woensdag and the Swedish onsdag. In German it gave way to Mittwoch, the middle of the week, a name created by the Church.
Merseburg · 10th century
Two charms, not found until 1841.
In the 10th century, two charms were written in an Old High German dialect on the front of a leaf. The manuscript is held in the cathedral chapter library in Merseburg.
In 1841 the historian Georg Waitz found the lines in the library of the cathedral chapter, and the following year Jacob Grimm called the manuscript a “treasure”.
According to the cathedral chapter, they are the only pagan incantations preserved in Germany and the only known Old High German record that shows figures of this world of gods in action: Wodan, Balder, Friia, Volla, Sunna, Phol and Sinhtgunt.
“Phol ende Uuodan uuorun zi holza.” Phol and Wodan made their way into the wood.
Iceland · around 1220
A textbook for young poets.
Around 1220 the Icelander Snorri Sturluson, 1179 to 1241, wrote his Edda. According to Britannica, it was meant to teach young poets the difficult metres and to make the old material understandable to a Christian age.
Two of its parts are called Gylfaginning, “The Beguiling of Gylfi”, and Skáldskaparmál, “The Language of Poetry”. For his account of the gods, Snorri cites poems that also appear in the Codex Regius.
Codex Regius · 45 leaves
A book on which the poems depend.
A parchment book from the late 13th century, its scribe unknown. According to the Árni Magnússon Institute, it is the oldest and most important surviving collection of Eddic poems, and most of the poems exist nowhere else but here and in copies of it.
At the front stand the poems about the gods, headed by the Völuspá. Nothing is known of the book’s path until 1643, when Bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson wrote his initials and the year into it; eight leaves were already missing.
In 1662 the bishop sent the book to King Frederick III in Copenhagen. It stayed there for more than three centuries.
The third place
Where each figure has come down to us.
- OdinOdin, Wodan, Woden and Wotan are names of one god. In Merseburg he is called Uuodan, and the Codex Regius puts the Hávamál in his mouth.
- ThorThe National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen holds a soapstone casting mould from Trendgården in North Jutland, from the second half of the 10th century, with cross and hammer in a single mould.
- FriggOn the page in Merseburg her name appears as Friia.
- LokiAccording to Britannica, the medieval sources attest no cult of Loki, and his name appears in no place name. Most of what is known about him comes from the texts.
- The three NornsThey are the three Norns of the Völuspá, the poem that opens the Codex Regius.
- SleipnirTradition knows him as Odin’s horse with eight legs.
- FenrirA figure in the poetry of Norway and Iceland in the 10th and 11th centuries.
- GullinburstiThe boar is a figure from Snorri’s Edda.
- Bödvar BjarkiHe is known from Danish tradition and from an Icelandic saga.
- The Viking AgeMost of the poems about the gods were probably composed in the last centuries before Christianity. After that they lived on by word of mouth until they were written down.

Reykjavík · 21 April 1971
On 21 April 1971 the Danish naval ship “Vædderen” docked in Reykjavík. The harbour was crowded as naval officers carried ashore three parcels in brown paper, with the Codex Regius and the Flateyjarbók inside.
The books are back in Iceland and are kept in Reykjavík today. We say the names every week.
“Has the whole population ever gathered with enthusiasm to receive two books?”
1/200 oz Gold "God Odin" 2026 – Minted Fine Gold in the Sign of the Allfather
- Strictly limited: limited worldwide to a manageable mintage of 5,000 pieces – a deliberately tight limitation.
- Growth potential: the tight mintage combined with high demand for small-format gold gives this issue an interesting value appreciation potential.
- Rarity: a sought-after, strictly limited issue from the young "Religion" series.
- Minting quality: struck in the highest possible quality level Proof – mirror-like background, finely matted reliefs.
- Investment character: full-fledged investment gold, whose value is primarily oriented to the gold price.
- Material / fineness: 999.9/1,000 fine gold – 24 karat, and thus the highest purity level for investment gold.
- Design: Odin as King of Asgard, with the spear Gungnir as well as the ravens Huginn and Muninn – one of the most expressive motifs of Norse mythology.
- Manufacturer: issued by Kettner Edelmetalle.
- Country of origin / issuing country: Liberia, face value 25 Dollars, year of issue 2026.
As small as this coin may be – its core is pure, minted gold. With a fine weight of 0.16 g, the issue corresponds exactly to 1/200 troy ounce of fine gold and is thus a convenient, affordable entry into physical gold investment. The real reason to buy lies in the substance: the value is primarily based on the precious metal content and develops with the gold price. Within our gold coins category, this format is one of the most charming ways to build up fine gold piece by piece – especially as an issue among the small German novelties.
Odin, King of Asgard – a Design Full of Power
The artfully designed motif shows Odin, the Allfather and King of Asgard. He wears a horned helmet, with the ornate patch over his right eye – a reference to the mythological sacrifice of his eye at the Well of Wisdom (Mimir's Well). In his hand rests the legendary spear Gungnir, flanked by his two ravens Huginn and Muninn, the symbols of thought and memory. Richly ornamented armor, Celtic knot patterns and rune-like inscriptions – "ODIN KING OF ASGARD" – complete a depiction that impressively unites Viking culture and Norse mythology. The design is the personal touch, the fine gold remains the substance.
Proof Minting Quality
The coin was struck in Proof quality, the most demanding of all minting techniques. The deep black, mirror-like background forms a strong contrast to the rich gold tone and gives the relief an impressive depth effect. The combination of polished and matted surfaces brings out even the finest details – from the ravens' plumage to the tip of the spear – with great clarity. The whole is complemented by a cleanly reeded edge; the issue is delivered in a thematically designed coincard.
Value Preservation in Small Denomination
As a strictly limited collector's coin with a worldwide mintage of only 5,000 pieces, this issue combines a sought-after rarity with genuine investment value. Despite the mythological design, what you are acquiring here is full-fledged investment gold – minted fine gold whose value is oriented to the gold price. This is precisely where the appeal lies: small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune, and physical gold can be traded worldwide at any time and is easy to resell.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency – a store of value that has endured for over 6,000 years and has never lost its shine.
Gold has an inherent, intrinsic value, has historically never been worth zero, and protects against the gradual loss of purchasing power. Anyone holding physical fine gold is betting on a scarce, durable asset – a proven inflation hedge and reliable crisis protection that can also be passed down through generations. Last but not least: profits from the sale of gold are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. The 1/200 oz gold "God Odin" 2026 is thus an elegant way to acquire genuine investment gold – or to give it as an investment.
