Gjallarhorn is the name of the mythical horn of Heimdall, guardian of Asgard and protector of the Bifrost bridge, which connects the world of the gods to Midgard, the realm of humans. Heimdall, who possesses exceptionally fine hearing and sight, ensures that no threat can penetrate Asgard. During Ragnarök, the ultimate battle between the gods and the giants, it is the sound of the Gjallarhorn that will alert the gods to the imminence of doom. The powerful sound of the horn, lost in the sky, will resonate throughout the nine worlds, signaling the inevitable end of time.
The horn is adorned with a selection of stories related to Ragnarök, the epic of the end of the world. The obverse depicts the arrow that killed Baldur, as well as the ship Loki took to Yggdrasil to engage in the final battle with the gods. These images also depict courageous warriors sent by Odin, fighting against a monster that symbolizes chaos and destruction.
The reverse of the horn features Sköll and Hati devouring the Sun and Moon, as well as the dramatic battle between Odin and Fenrir, which ends with the tragic death of the god. Also depicted is Thor's hammer, Mjölnir, wrapped in the body of the serpent Jormungand, symbolizing that the triumph of good over evil comes at a heavy price.
Designed by Mateusz Fr?ckowiak, the coin will be minted in 5,000 copies. Its authenticity is confirmed by the included certificate of authenticity.
