A few pages that survived.
Mjölnir lies diagonally across the field, with lightning bolts running over the whole surface. To this day the week carries the name of the hammer’s god: Thursday is Thor’s day, and in German it is Donnerstag, the day of Donar.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?”

With this issue, you hold a piece of Norse mythology in pure gold. The thunder god Thor and his hammer Mjölnir are among the most powerful symbols of the Vikings. However, the actual substance and the primary reason for purchase is the fine gold content: the value of this coinage is based first and foremost on its gold content and moves in line with the gold price. Despite its expressive design, you are therefore acquiring full-value, physical investment gold – and this coin also fits perfectly into our gold coins category.
This issue is far more than a mere collector's coin: at its core, you are acquiring minted fine gold of the highest purity. The very low mintage of just 1,000 pieces worldwide in particular makes this small gold coin a sought-after rarity. Where supply is naturally limited and demand for designs from Norse mythology has been growing for years, a noticeable value appreciation potential arises – without us being able or willing to promise you a specific return.
The design: Thor's Hammer Mjölnir
The obverse shows Mjölnir positioned diagonally in the field, surrounded by golden lightning bolts branching across the entire surface. The hammerhead features detailed Celtic braid patterns and a central rivet, while the handle is adorned with horizontal grooves and a wrapping. The background alternates between deep, star-studded darkness and warm gold tones – a contrast that impressively stages the divine power of the thunder god. The reverse places the hammer centrally in the field: lightning bolts radiate from it in all directions, while a surrounding ring of Nordic runes frames the design. The year 2026 is positioned at the bottom, with the face value and fineness clearly indicated on the coin.
Highest minting quality: Proof
The coin is struck in Proof quality (PP) – the most elaborate and highest-quality finishing level of all. Mirror-polished surfaces meet finely frosted reliefs, giving the lightning bolts, runes and knot patterns an especially three-dimensional appearance. To achieve this finish, the minting dies are polished multiple times and the blanks are struck with the utmost care, often through elaborate manual work. The result is a flawless surface that fully showcases the artistic design of the Mjölnir motif.
Gold as a proven store of value
Gold is the oldest currency in the world and has served people as a reliable store of value for over 6,000 years. It has an intrinsic, globally recognized value, is tradable and liquid at all times – and has never once had a value of zero throughout its long history. As a scarce commodity with limited supply, it retains its purchasing power across generations and is regarded by many investors as a solid inflation hedge as well as crisis protection. It is no coincidence that central banks are among the largest gold holders in the world. Furthermore, profits from the sale of physical gold are generally tax-free, provided at least one year has elapsed between purchase and sale.
Who this gold coin is suitable for
The 1/200 oz coinage is an ideal entry point into physical gold investment: even with small amounts, you build up a genuine asset step by step, as many small quantities of gold add up over the years. Anyone wishing to give a genuine investment as a gift – for example for a christening, birthday or Christmas – hands over not a perishable item with this coin, but minted fine gold whose value is based on the gold price. Compared to classic 1/10 or 1/20 oz gold coins, the 1/200 oz denomination offers a particularly low capital outlay per piece; in return, the premium over the pure material value is proportionally higher – a deliberate trade-off in favor of manageability, a low entry threshold and the strictly limited mintage. The coin is delivered in a design-matched coincard as brand-new merchandise.
Mjölnir combines powerful Norse symbolism with the timeless substance of fine gold – a rarity with only 1,000 pieces, uniting investment appeal and fascination in the smallest of formats.
