Comments

Germania Mint presents the third coin in the Germania Beasts series – Gullinbursti 1 oz Silver BU. Following Fafnir and Fenrir, it is now the turn of another legendary beast – the golden-bristled boar Gullinbursti, crafted by dwarf masters. A symbol of strength, speed, and unstoppable will, it has been immortalized in silver as part of the exclusive Germania Beasts collection.

According to Germanic mythology, Gullinbursti was forged by the dwarves Sindri and Brokkr as a gift for the god Freyr. Its golden bristles not only illuminated the darkness but also made it incredibly fast and indestructible. On this unique coin, Germania Mint has given it an even more majestic appearance – its tusks are adorned with ancient runes, endowing it with magical power and mystical significance.

Once again, the image of the Beast stretches across both sides of the coin, creating a cohesive depiction. The obverse features the powerful head of the mythical boar, with shining golden bristles and sharp tusks. The reverse shows the muscular body of the beast, decorated with intricate ornaments that emphasize its divine origin. In the background, the symbol of Germania Mint – the double-headed eagle – remains constant.

Designed by Natalia Danysz, the coin will be issued in a limited edition of 25,000 pieces, becoming a valuable treasure for collectors. Each piece will be placed in a dedicated capsule with a lens, highlighting the details of the design and protecting the coin from damage. The set includes a certificate of authenticity, confirming its unique value.
