The latest coin release from Germania Mint has certainly taken collectors by surprise. In 2025, two years after the official conclusion of the beloved Mythical Forest series, a brand-new silver coin – Yggdrasil – has emerged. Is it merely a spin-off, or could it signal a new chapter in this legendary collection?

Mythical Forest – a series that won the hearts of collectors

The Mythical Forest series is one of Germania Mint’s most admired numismatic collections. Between 2019 and 2023, it featured silver coins adorned with symbolic tree leaves: oak, chestnut, linden, and beech. Collectors quickly fell in love with the series for its rich symbolism, exceptional craftsmanship, and artistic consistency.

Following the final release in 2023, many enthusiasts expressed a desire for the series to continue – after all, nature and mythology offer no shortage of inspiration. However, Germania Mint had a different vision from the start: to craft something truly special. Yggdrasil is not just another coin – it’s a symbolic finale and a gateway to new creative possibilities.

Yggdrasil – a coin rooted in Germanic mythology

Yggdrasil, the mythical Tree of Life in Germanic mythology, is a mighty ash tree whose branches stretch into the heavens and whose roots connect all nine realms – from the lands of the gods to the world of the dead. It represents life, rebirth, unity of all beings, and cosmic order.

According to legend, Yggdrasil is home to mythological creatures – including Nidhogg, a serpent gnawing at its roots, and Ratatosk, a squirrel ferrying messages between realms. Even after Ragnarök, the end of the world, Yggdrasil survived, providing shelter to two humans who would become the ancestors of a renewed mankind. This enduring myth speaks of hope and renewal – the very essence captured in this new coin.

Obverse and reverse – symbolism in every detail

The obverse of the Yggdrasil 2025 coin features the colossal tree itself, with its roots entwined by the serpent Nidhogg. This powerful imagery conveys both threat and the resilience of life.

The reverse presents Germania Mint’s iconic two-headed eagle, a symbol of past and future. The lightning bolts in its talons represent the divine power of creation and destruction. The combination brings a majestic and mythological depth to the coin’s design.

2025 Yggdrasil coin – multiple variants, one spirit

This year’s Yggdrasil release is notable not only for its mythical theme but also for its variety of collectible formats:

• 2025 Mythical Forest: Yggdrasil 1 oz Silver BU – the classic brilliant uncirculated version in pure silver.

• Metallic Colours editions – four seasonal variants: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. These showcase the mythical tree in harmony with the natural cycle.

Is this the end of Mythical Forest?

Yggdrasil is far from a random release. It’s a thoughtful continuation – or perhaps more accurately, a tribute – to the Mythical Forest series. It completes the narrative of symbolic trees, which represent more than just decorative motifs. This coin not only captivates with its aesthetics but also immerses collectors in a world of deep meaning.

All editions of the coin will be available through our Authorized Distributors.
