Some coins you buy. This one you deliberately seek out as a collector. With "Ragnarök: Thor & Jörmungandr", Germania Mint releases the third year of issue in its Ragnarök series, and the flagship piece of this edition is a collector's coin that is not easily forgotten. Two ounces of pure silver, a diameter of 45 millimetres and a relief that practically pushes itself out of the coin's surface. On top of that comes a mintage of just 500 pieces. This makes this edition clearly one of the standout pieces among modern silver coins.

The legend: the Thunder God against the World Serpent

In Norse mythology, no duel is as closely bound to fate as this one. Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent, lies so immense in the world's ocean that its body encircles the entire human world. Thor, god of thunder and protector of mankind, is its arch-enemy. At Ragnarök, the downfall of the gods, their final encounter takes place: Thor slays the serpent with his hammer Mjölnir. But his victory comes at a price. Struck by the monster's venom, he manages only nine steps before he dies.

It is precisely this moment that the obverse captures. The serpent's huge, scaly skull fills the upper half of the coin's design, its body coiling around the scene. Below stands Thor, muscular and with a flowing beard, hammer raised to strike, while lightning flashes across the cracked ground. On the left gleams a golden pyrite, on the right a sea-blue apatite. The two stones correspond to the two adversaries, to thunder and ocean. The inscriptions "THOR" and "JÖRMUNGANDR" run along the edge, framing the image.

Minting artistry you can feel

The Ultra High Relief gives the scene a depth that flat-struck coins cannot achieve. Every scale casts its own shadow. The antique finish reinforces this impression even further: the recessed areas appear dark and aged, while the raised areas shine silver. As a result, the coin looks like an artefact recovered from another age.

In normal light, the coin is a masterpiece in silver and stone. Under black light, it reveals its second face.

The manufacturer calls this finishing technique "Black Light Colours". The colouring remains invisible in daylight and only appears under UV light. The composition then lights up vividly, and the battle takes on an entirely new effect. For collectors, this is an effect they love to show off.

The reverse: symbols of fate

The reverse of the 10 Mark Germania is also carefully designed. At the centre stands the double-headed eagle, the emblem of Germania Mint. To its left and right are the symbols of the two adversaries: Mjölnir and the serpent biting its own tail. Everything is framed by an interwoven knotwork band and a rugged surface. At the top are "GERMANIA 2026" and "2 oz Ag 999.9", at the bottom the face value "10 MARK".

The Ragnarök series in comparison

Since 2024, Germania Mint has been telling the story of the downfall of the gods chapter by chapter. Sköll & Hati (2024) was followed by Loki & Heimdall (2025), and now comes the battle between Thor and Jörmungandr. For comparison, the 2026 year of issue also includes two 1-ounce editions in Black Silver with a diameter of 38.61 mm. According to the manufacturer, each of these had a mintage of 5,000 pieces. They make a good entry point, but the 2-ounce edition plays in a different league entirely:

• Mintage: 500 instead of 5,000 pieces, meaning just a tenth of the mintage
• Size and weight: 45 mm and 62.21 g of silver offer significantly more surface area for detail
• Features: Ultra High Relief, antique finish, gemstone inlays and a black light effect combined in a single coin
• Trade-off: The entry price is higher, but in return you get the most elaborate piece of the year of issue

Due to this very low mintage and the series' loyal collector base, many regard this edition as a genuine rarity with particular appreciation potential. However, no one can guarantee how the collector's value will develop. What is certain is this: once the 500 pieces have been distributed, none will ever be struck again.

Silver has been struck into coins for thousands of years and is extremely popular among collectors. In Germany, profits from the sale of silver coins held as private assets are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. Here, however, something else takes centre stage: the joy of holding a strictly limited piece of mythology that you are always happy to pick up again. Anyone who collects the Ragnarök series, or simply has a fondness for Norse legends, should not hesitate long over this coin.
