2019 Canadian $20 Norse Gods: Odin - 1 oz Fine Silver & Gold-plated Coin

2019 Canadian $20 Norse Gods: Odin - 1 oz Fine Silver & Gold-plated Coin

Father of Thor and husband of Frigg, war-god Odin is the second of three Norse Gods featured in this series of coins, which explores Norse mythology and beliefs during Canada’s Viking Age (c. 1000 CE). Wednesday is named for Odin (or Wodan in Old English), the widely revered “All-Father” of the Norse pantheon. The long-bearded ruler of Asgard is the god of war and death, poetry and wisdom—in fact, so great is Odin’s thirst for knowledge that he famously sacrificed his own eye to drink from the Well of Wisdom.

Design

The reverse image by Alexandra Lefort finds Odin on his eight-legged horse, Sleipnir. One of Odin’s raven informants, Huginn (“Thought”), is perched on his shoulder while the other, Muninn (“Memory”), flies alongside him. His two wolf companions, Geri and Freki, also accompany him. Selective gold plating highlights Odin’s helmet, arm guard and infallible spear (Gungnir), as well as two different emblems associated with the Norse god of war and wisdom: the Valknut (“knot of the fallen”) and the Triple Horn of Odin. The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
