Hildegard

Hildegard is a female name derived from the Old High German hild ('war' or 'battle') and gard ('enclosure' or 'yard'), and means 'battle enclosure'. This meaning perfectly describes Odin's daughter. She is fearless and ready to bring worthy soldiers to their reward in the afterlife. Every aspect of the design displayed on this 2022 Germania Valkyries: Hildegard 1 oz Silver BU has been meticulously crafted! Designed by Mateusz Frackowiak, the coin will be issued in an edition of 25,000 and each will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

On the obverse of the coin Hildegard is depicted as the protector of men. Behind the Valkyrie, there is a stronghold, guarded by a high wall of wooden palisade. In her hand, Hildegard holds a Germanic spear and a shield with an image of the Fenrir wolf. On the goddess’ armor the rune Algiz is engraved – its function is to protect and give a sense of security, openness and support. Hildegard is accompanied by a wolf, which can also be seen in the background of the coin – on a rock, howling to the moon. On top 'Hildegard' is inscribed in rune-like lettering. There are many hidden details for you to look for on the coin that are related to Germanic mythology. Can you find them?

The reverse presents a completely new design, combining both the signature Germania Mint double-headed eagle, as well as new Germanic runes and a howling wolf. The animal motif, symbolizing strength and independence, is not accidental – in exchange for food, wolves defended the settlements and its inhabitants. The entire design of the reverse is composed as a shield, which also contains the issue year, metal alloy and the 5 mark denomination.

This first release in the Valkyries series of Germania Mint far exceeds our high expectations. With an extremely limited edge-numbered mintage of only 25,000 for worldwide distribution, you will need to be quick before this coin is escorted to Valhalla!
