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.

NGC MS70 FIRST RELEASE – has all of the OMP PACKAGING TOO, Including Capsule! GRADED, AUTHENTICATED, and PROTECTED! Assassins is the name given to the Nizari Ismailis in the mountains of Persia and Syria between about 1090 to 1275. The name was not used by the Nizaris themselves, but was given to them by their opponents in Syria. Nizarism formed in the late 11th century after a split within Ismailism, a branch of Shia Islam. Based on texts from Alamut, their grand master Hassan-i Sabbah tended to call his disciples Assiyyn (, meaning people who are faithful to the foundation [of the faith]), but some foreign travellers like Marco Polo misunderstood the name as deriving from the term hashish. The Nizaris posed a strategic threat to Sunni Seljuq authority by capturing and inhabiting several mountain fortresses throughout Persia and later Syria, under the leadership of Hassan-i Sabbah. Asymmetric warfare, psychological warfare, and surgical strikes were often a tactic of the assassins, drawing their opponents into submission rather than risk killing them. While Assassins typically refers to the entire sect, only a group of acolytes known as the fidai actually engaged in conflict. Lacking their own army, the Nizari relied on these warriors to carry out espionage and assassinations of key enemy figures, and over the course of 300 years they successfully killed two caliphs, and many viziers, sultans, and Crusader leaders. During the rule of Imam Rukn-ud-Din Khurshah, the Nizari state declined internally, and was eventually destroyed as the Imam surrendered the castles to the invading Mongols. The Mongols destroyed and eliminated their Order. Mentions of Assassins were preserved within European sources such as the writings of Marco Polo where they are depicted as trained killers, responsible for the systematic elimination of opposing figures. The word assassin has been used ever since to describe a hired or professional killer, leading to the related term assassination, which denotes any action involving murder of a high-profile target for political reasons.

Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, and twin sister of Apollo, was goddess of chastity, hunting, wild animals, forests, childbirth, and fertility. Convincing her father to grant her wishes, Artemis desired to remain forever chaste and unmarried and always to be equipped for hunting. The goddess was also associated with the moon and was the patron of young women, particularly brides-to-be, who dedicated their toys to her as symbolic of the transition to full adulthood and the assumption of a wifes responsibilities.

Kiliskiego 2, 35-005 Rzeszów Poland. In 2019 Niue in cooperation with the Mint of Poland has issued this unique 2 oz silver coin, the first issue of Ancient Chinese Warrior series. The coin is dedicated to Zhao Yun, a military general who lived at the turn of the 2. Why this silver coin is so special: – First coin in Ancient Chinese Warrior series; – Struck of 2 oz of pure 999 silver; – Amazing details in ultrahigh relief; – Selectively gilded elements; – Released only for China – extremely rare; – Great cultural and historical value! Design: At the very first sight, this Niue silver coin draws your attention with its stunning design. The reverse of the coin depicts Zhao Yun riding a horse and holding a gilded spear. The ultrahigh relief looks quite impressive on this silver coin, especially with so many details: the warrior’s armor, the spear and the scene in general. We cannot miss the obverse as well, since along with traditional inscriptions and the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II this side is decorated with a wonderful Chinese-style pattern of dragons. About Zhao Yun: The choice to make Zhao Yun the theme for the first release in the series seems quite reasonable as this person takes a significant place in Chinese culture and history. Having become almost legendary, he is famous for taking parts in numerous battles – the Battle of Changban, the Battle of Red Cliffs, Hanzhang Campaign and many others. Luo Guanzhong, the author of 14. Century’s “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”, describes Zhao Yun as the skillful, courageous and charismatic warrior. And despite the fact that this novel gives us only a 1000-word hint of who this warrior really was, Zhao Yun has been a well-known hero of numerous folktales, pieces of literature and art. No surprise that even modern culture appreciates this hero – Zhao Yun has been portrayed in modern film adaptations, video games, card games and manhua. Discounts on new coins for registered users.
