First coin in series! Chinese dragons , also known as East Asian dragons , are legendary creatures in Chinese mythology, Chinese folklore, and East Asian culture at large. Chinese dragons have many animal-like forms such as turtles and fish, but are most commonly depicted as snake-like with four legs. They traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it in East Asian culture. During the days of Imperial China, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.

The obverse features the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and is legal tender in Niue. This exquisite coin is a delightful keepsake for any history buff or mythology enthusiast. Fafnir, Otr and Regin were the sons of the dwarf king Hreidmar. Tragically Otr was killed by three gods after he had taken the form of an otter. When Hreidmar learned of this, he captured the three with the help of Fafnir and Regin. He held them for ransom until the infamous Loki provided the dwarves Andvari’s ring and his cursed gold as repayment for the loss of his son. Fafnir was the strongest and most aggressive of the three sons. Incited by greed, Fafnir killed his father and took the riches for himself into the wilderness where he slowly turned into a dragon, a symbol of greed, in order to guard his treasure. He breathed poison into the land around him so no one would go near him and his treasure. However, Regin also wanted the treasure and so plotted revenge, sending his apprentice Sigurd to kill Fafnir. Regin instructed Sigurd to dig a pit in which he could lie in wait under the dragons trail. Regin then ran away in fear, leaving Sigurd to the task. Undaunted, Sigurd used his sword to fatally wound the dragon. Sigurd, having tasted Fafnirs blood while cooking the heart, was able to understand the language of birds (knowledge is given to one who eats the heart of a dragon). The birds told Sigurd that it was Regins intention to kill him, so instead Sigurd killed Regin and left victorious with Fafnirs treasure.

We are thrilled to offer the second issue in the Niue Dragon series, and it’s every bit as beautiful and intricate as the first release. This is the fabled Jormungandr and is intricately captured in stunning detail on the high relief 2 ounce. 999 pure silver coin. Power, strength, violence and a strong link to the terrain the people that created them live in, dragons from Scandinavia, the British Isles and Northern Europe usually depict a look that exudes menace and malevolence. This incredible design features the dragon Jormungandr intertwined with the famed world tree Yggdrasil and eating its own tail. There is literally no part of the reverse face that isnt packed with ultra high relief detail. The insert, made of Azurite, is coloured like a view of the Earth from space and is an integral part of the mythology. Dragons have permeated many cultures mythology, possibly through the early discovery of fossils after all, how else could they explain fossilized teeth and bones? Norse mythology is no different, with four main creatures referenced in their literature. Niohoggr, (Malice Striker) is a dragon (or serpent) that gnaws away at the root of Yggdrasil, the fabled world tree. Described in Prose Edda and Poetic Edda as gnawing at the roots from below, it was one of many creatures that inhabited Yggdrasil. Jormungandr, (Huge Monster), also known as the Midgard (World) Serpent, is a sea serpent and said to be the offspring of Loki and the giantess Angrboða. Thrown into the great ocean that encircles Midgard by Odin. It grew so large that it encircled the earth and could grasp its own tale. When it releases its tail, Ragnarök will begin. Fafnir is a son of the dwarf king Hreidmar, and after being affected by the curse of Andvaris ring and gold, Fafnir became a dragon and was slain by Sigurd. Its suggested that Tolkien based the dragon Smaug on the legend of Fafnir. Unnamed dragon in the 13th century book by Saxo Grammaticus, Gesta Danorum (The Deeds of the Danes), recounts the tale of the legendary king Frode I, who is said to have killed a venomous dragon that lived in a cave guarding a huge horde of riches.
