Odin – Viking God. Odin the “Allfather” was the premier Norse deity, at once a magnetic and polarizing figure whose influence permeated all aspects of society. He was the ruler of Valhalla, the highest level of the underworld and frequently received human sacrifices. In battle, he was a manipulative commander who derived an almost spiritual ecstasy from orchestrating violent, chaotic bloodbaths. He was also a lover of poetry and heavily involved in shamanism, magic and necromancy. Cnut – Viking King King Cnut is remembered for stabilizing England, Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden and unifying the regions into one empire from A. Humility was his hallmark trait, often illustrated by the tale of “King Cnut and the Waves, ” wherein Cnut had his throne placed on the seashore as the tide was coming in. Sitting upon his throne, he stretched out his hand and commanded the tide to recede. The ocean responded by continuing its advance, covering the king’s feet and soaking his royal garments. Cnut turned to the small audience accompanying him and said, Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws. He placed his crown upon a crucifix and never wore it again. Ragnar – Viking Warrior. A legendary Viking warrior and king, Ragnar of Lothbrok is likely an amalgamation of several prominent warriors. He is remembered for leading successful campaigns into France and England, galvanizing Viking armies to battle, and passing on his legacy to his many warrior sons, most notably, Ivar the Boneless. He met his end when he was captured by king Aella of Northumbria and thrown into a pit of snakes. Face value : 2 Dollars. Quality : High Relief, Antique Finish. Mintage : 1,999 Worldwide.

31.1 (1 oz). This beautiful 1 Oz Silver coin, with a real meteorite and yellow Antique Finsh quality, is the second issue of the series “Solar System”. The coin depicts the Mercury surface on both sides, with a concave shape and the insert is a real piece of the NWA 8409 Meteorite. The coin is housed in a prestigious wooden box with Certificate of Authenticity. Extremely low mintage of 686 pieces worldwide! The reverse of the coin depicts the Mercury surface, with very realistic details. What makes this coin unique is a real meteorite called NWA 8409, fallen on Earth in Northwest Africa, inlaid on the coin. On top of the coin the inscription “Solar System Mercury” and on the obverse side the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Mercury Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the one closest to the Sun, with an orbital period of about 88 Earth days, which is much faster than any other planet in the Solar System. Seen from Earth, it appears to move around its orbit in about 116 days. It has no known natural satellites. It is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger to the gods. Partly because it has almost no atmosphere to retain heat, Mercury’s surface temperature varies diurnally more than any other planet in the Solar System, ranging from 100 K (-173 °C; -280 °F) at night to 700 K (427 °C; 800 °F) during the day in some equatorial regions. The poles are constantly below 180 K (-93 °C; -136 °F). Mercury’s axis has the smallest tilt of any of the Solar System’s planets (about 1/30 of a degree). However it has the largest orbital eccentricity: at aphelion, Mercury is about 1.5 times as far from the Sun as it is at perihelion. Mercury’s surface is heavily cratered and similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years. Mercury is gravitationally locked and rotates in a way that is unique in the Solar System. As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly three times for every two revolutions it makes around the Sun. As seen from the Sun, in a frame of reference that rotates with the orbital motion, it appears to rotate only once every two Mercurian years. An observer on Mercury would therefore see only one day every two years. The item “SOLAR SYSTEM MERCURY NWA 8409 Meteorite Silver Coin 1$ Niue 2016″ is in sale since Sunday, September 18, 2016.
