Obverse

L anverso muestra el majestuoso árbol Yggdrasil con ramas extendidas y un complejo sistema de raíces. Entre las raíces se oculta una serpiente – Nidhogg, una criatura de la mitología nórdica que las roe. El tronco se eleva hacia arriba y la copa del árbol sobrepasa los límites del diseño, aumentando su impacto visual. El fondo está decorado con ornamentos sutiles que refuerzan el carácter místico del motivo. En los laterales aparecen las inscripciones: “YGGDRASIL” y “1 oz Ag 999.9”.

Script: Latin

Lettering: Yggdrasil, 1 oz Ag 999,9

Reverse

El reverso presenta el símbolo clásico de Germania: un águila bicéfala con las alas extendidas. Cada garra sujeta un rayo, símbolo del poder divino de crear y destruir. Las cabezas del águila miran en direcciones opuestas, representando la visión simultánea del pasado y el futuro. Sobre el águila figura la inscripción “GERMANIA” y debajo, el valor nominal “5 MARK” y el año de emisión. El fondo está decorado con grabados elegantes que confieren a la moneda un carácter refinado y coleccionable

Comments

Yggdrasil, the mythical Tree of Life, connects all parts of the universe. This imposing ash tree, whose branches reach the heavens and whose roots extend through nine worlds—from the realm of the gods to the land of the dead—symbolizes life, rebirth, the interconnectedness of all beings, and cosmic order.

Mythical creatures dwell in its branches, such as the serpent Nidhogg, who gnaws at its roots, and the squirrel Ratatoskr, who carries messages between its worlds. Yggdrasil even survived Ragnarök, offering refuge to two humans who would become the beginning of a renewed humanity. It stands as a symbol of hope: that even after the end of the world, life can begin anew.
