Norse mythology has influenced the way we tell stories and given rise to everyday words, including some days of the week—Wednesday for Odin, Thursday for Thor, and Friday for Frigg. The Norse gods and giants are even part of Canada’s multicultural heritage: they’re the folk heroes of Scandinavian Canadians who made their home all over Canada, in places such as Gimli, Manitoba, a community namedfor the heavenly hall of the righteous after Ragnarök.

We’re combining history and myth in a new series dedicated to Norse gods—and it begins with the hammer-wielding god of thunder: Thor. In the time ofCanada’s Viking Age (c. 1000), quick-tempered Thor was one of the most admired figures of Norse faith and lore. It is from him that we get the word “Thursday” (Thor’s Day). His legendary strength and fearlessness are evident on your coin, where the apocalyptic battle scene is enhanced with selective gold plating and an antiqued finish—a first-time combination worthy of theultimate warrior.

Designed by Alexandra Lefort, your first coin in your 3-coin subscription depicts the battle between Thor and Jörmungandr at Ragnarök, an end-of-days event in Norse mythology. Clad in the finest clothing and armour of the Viking era, the Norse god of thunderstands with his hammer raised, ready to strike the coiled serpent. Selective gold plating highlights Thor’s hammer (Mjöllnir), iron gloves (Járngreipr) and belt (Megingjörð). A Norse art-inspired pattern lines the rim on the obverse and reverse. Thegold-plated goat heads represent Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr, who pull Thor’s chariot, while the gold-plated Mjöllnir is based on a 10th-century silver pendant. The obverse features the gold-platedeffigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by SusannaBlunt.
