Frigg is one of the goddesses appearing in Norse mythology. She is known as being the goddess of love, marriage, destiny and so much more. Frigg is often shown holding or sitting near a spindle and threat, as shes also known as the goddess of weaving. It is said that Frigg holds the power needed to spin the very threads of fate in order to determine the destiny of the gods and man both.
The 2017 2 oz Tuvalu Norse Goddesses Frigg Silver High Relief Coin featured in this product listing is the second in the series from Perth Mint. Each coin starts as a stunning rimless blank, giving it the appearance of ancient coinage. An antique patina is added to enhance that ancient appeal, and a high relief striking brings the imagery to life.
Obverse
The obverse design of each of the coins in this series features the right-profile portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. This fourth-generation of Her Majesty was designed by famed sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998. The image of Her Majesty is framed by her name, Queen Elizabeth II, along with the nation responsible for releasing the coin, the face value, the year of release, the weight and metal content of the coin.
Reverse
The reverse design of the 2017 Tuvalu Norse Goddesses Frigg 2 oz Silver Coin features the image of Frigg seated upon Odins throne. Frigg is depicted holding a newborn baby in her left hand, while she dangles a rose quartz pendant in her right hand. Frigg is accompanied by several interesting design features, including a falcon, candles and the woven threads of destiny she is charged with protecting.
Frigg is married to the all-father, Odin; this makes her the Asgardian Queen. Frigg is mother to Balder and Hod, and is the stepmother to Thor, Heimdall and Odins many other children.
