Celebrate Norse folklore with this 1 oz Silver Round featuring the supernatural Hellhound – Garm, portrayed in a beautiful antique finish. The Hellhound Garm is a wolf or dog associated with Helheim, the Norse underworld. Behind immense gates and surrounding walls sits the mansion of Hel, the Goddess of Death. Garm, the bloodstained hound, stands bound to gates of the underworld. The monstrous wolf-life creature stands guard, howling and bringing fear to all who pass. His deep howls an indication of the coming of Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. Garm breaks free from his chains and battles with the God of War, Tyr, ultimately ending in both of their deaths.
This 1 oz Silver Round is presented as part of Anonymous Mint’s Nordic Creatures series. The beautiful artwork done by world-renowned artist and illustrator Howard David Johnson, brings alive the myths and legends of this Nordic creature. On the obverse of this 1oz pure silver round, smoke billows from molten lava that rises from the ground around Garm. The image of Garm and his large chains keeping him bound to the underworld is immortalized in .999 Pure Silver.
The reverse of the round portrays the World Tree, Yggdrasil, an immense ash tree whose branches reach far into the heavens. Norse Mythology says Yggdrasil connects the nine Norse worlds. It was at Yggdrasil that Odin founded the runic alphabet making it possible for men to communicate through written words. Being the most holy of all places, the gods assemble there daily to decide what is just and unjust. At the bottom of the image you will find the weight and purity of this gorgeous 1 oz Silver Round – Hellhound- Antique Finish.
