DESCRIPTION FIRST COIN ON THE SERIE OF THUNDER SLAVIC GODS. The 2 Oz Silver coin is the first release in the new Slavic Gods series and is dedicated to the Slavic God of thunder, lightning, heaven and earth Perun. The coin features an incredible oaken insert, has an Antique Finish quality and comes in a themed case, along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage to only 500 pieces worldwide! In Slavic mythology, Perun (Cyrillic:) is the highest god of the pantheon and the god of thunderand lightning. His other attributes were fire, mountains, wind, the oak, iris, eagle, firmament (in Indo-European languages, this was joined with the notion of the sky of stone), horses and carts, weapons hammer, axe (Axe of Perun), and arrow, and war. He was first associated with weapons made of stone and later with those of metal. Of all historic records describing Slavic gods, those mentioning Perun are the most numerous. As early as the 6th century, he was mentioned in De Bello Gothico, a historical source written by the Eastern Roman historian Procopius. A short note describing beliefs of a certain South Slavic tribe states they acknowledge that one god, creator of lightning, is the only lord of all: to him do they sacrifice an ox and all sacrificial animals. While the name of the god is not mentioned here explicitly, 20th century research has established beyond doubt that the god of thunder and lightning in Slavic mythology is Perun. To this day the word perun in a number of Slavic languages means “thunder, ” or “lightning bolt”. The Primary Chronicle relates that in the year 6415 (907 AD) prince Oleg Scandin. Olaf made a peace treaty with the Byzantine Empire and by taking his men to the shrines and swearing by their weapons and by their god Perun, and by Volos, the god of cattle, they confirmed the treaty. We find the same form of confirmation of a peace treaty by prince Igorin 945. In 980, when prince Vladimir the Great came to the throne of Kiev, he erected statues of five pagan gods in front of his palace which he soon thereafter discarded after his Christianization in 988. Perun was chief among these, represented with a silver head and a golden moustache. (p133-) Vladimir’s uncle Dobrinja also had a shrine of Perun established in his city of Novgorod. After the Christianization of Kievan Rus, this place became a monastery, which, quite remarkably, continued to bear the name of Perun. 999 Weight: 2 Oz – 62.2g Diameter: 50 mm Finish: Antique Finish, High Relief And Oak Insert Mintage: 500 Pcs Worldwide Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.

62.2 (2 oz). The outstanding 2 Oz Silver coin is the first release in the new Slavic Gods series and is dedicated to the Slavic God of War, fertility and abundance Svetovid. The coin features an incredible oaken insert, has an Antique Finish quality and comes in a themed case, along with the Certificate of Authenticity. Limited mintage to only 500 pieces worldwide! The reverse of the coin depicts the incredible and detailed high relief image of Svetovid, the god of war. Above the reverse, the inscription: SVETOVID – the name of the coin. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by vegetation, with a bear, a wolf and an eagle in the background. At the bottom of the reverse, the inscriptions: 2 DOLLARS – the nominal value, ELIZABETH II – the Queen’s name, NIUE – the issuing country and 2019 – the year of issue. Svetovid Svetovid, Svantovit or Sventovit is a Slavic deity of war, fertility and abundance primarily venerated on the island of Rügen into the 12th century. He is often considered a local Rugian variant of the pan-Slavic god Perun. Sometimes referred to as Beli (or Byali) Vid (Beli = white, bright, shining), Svetovid is associated with war and divination and depicted as a four-headed god with two heads looking forward and two back. A statue portraying the god shows him with four heads, each one looking in a separate direction, a symbolical representation of the four directions of the compass, and also perhaps the four seasons of the year. Each face had a specific colour. The northern face of this totem was white (hence White Ruthenia / Belarus and the White Sea), the western, red (hence Red Ruthenia), the southern, black (hence the Black Sea) and the eastern, green (hence Zeleny klyn).
