The obverse
On the obverse of the coin, a dramatic moment that forever changed Bödvar’s fate is captured. The warrior, bound in chains, stands powerless before an overpowering attacker, while his wife Astrid dies on her knees amidst the flames consuming their village. It is a scene full of pain, tension, and the merciless hand of fate. From her last words, Bödvar learns that their daughter Sunneva has been abducted. Devastated by loss, yet consumed by rising fury, he swears to find his child and sets out on a relentless quest for justice.
The reverse
On the reverse, the central motif is the sacred Mount Thorbjørn. The monumental rocky massif takes the form of a roaring bear, symbolizing strength and divine power. On its forehead is carved the Sowilo rune. Waterfalls flow from the stone bear’s mouth, feeding the rivers at its base. The coin’s outer ring forms a magical runic circle. Among the bear’s stone teeth is placed a shield with a double-headed eagle, while chains wrap around the entire composition, symbolically linking Bödvar’s destiny with the mythical mountain.
