Published on 26.02.2024 in News

Goddesses are another Germania Mint project of this kind, after Runes, which has won the hearts of collectors. Two ounces of silver in the form of a superb quality cast bar, accompanied by a colorful print featuring a beautiful Germanic woman appealed to recipients, who bought up the entire mintage in no time. Using innovative technology, we have created an investment and collectible product at the same time. Meet the Goddesses, the heroines of our latest collection.

Six powerful personalities and beautiful figures

Goddesses are part of Northern Europe’s rich mythological heritage, which reflected the diversity of religious beliefs and practices in this part of the world before Christianization. Each of these goddesses had their own unique characteristics and were worshipped by communities in different ways. We encourage you to get to know them better.

Freyja

Freyja was the goddess of love, fertility, war and magic. She was the daughter of Njörðr and the twin sister of Freyra. She was also known as the ruler of the Valkyries, who selected fallen warriors on the battlefield, leading them to Valhalla.

Sigyn

Sigyn was the goddess of fidelity, care and love in Norse mythology. She was the wife of Loki, the god of playfulness and chaos. Sigyn was faithful to Loki even after his fall, holding a vessel over his face to protect him from the drops of venom that dripped from the serpent above him, a punishment for his betrayal to the gods.

Gullveig

Gullveig, who was herself beautiful and shiny, aroused people’s lust for gold, causing them to fight among themselves. Since she was the cause of the first war between Vanir and Aesir, the gods of Aesir tried to burn her three times, but each time Gullveig only became more and more shining.

Frigg

Frigg was the goddess of marriage, motherhood, domesticity, fertility and care in Norse mythology. She was the wife of Odin, the supreme god, and mother of Baldur, the god of light and love. Frigg was often equated with another goddess, Freyja, which may suggest different aspects of fertility and love.

Gefion

Gefion was the goddess of fertility, land and crops. Once when she asked a king for a piece of land, he promised to give her as much as she could plow in one day. Gefion turned her sons into oxen and plowed a large swath of land, which was then cut off from the earth – thus the island was created. She is considered the patron of farmers and sailors.

Nerthus

Nerthus is the goddess of fertility and revenge. She was mainly worshipped by Germanic tribes living in Scandinavian areas and northwestern Europe. Once a year, priests would carry her statue in a ceremonial procession around the island that was her seat in a flowered cart harnessed to a pair of white cows. This was to ensure fertility in the coming summer.
