The obverse features the gold-plated effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
Did you knowÃ
There are many similarities between Freya and Frigg-in fact, they are possibly two variations of the sameworship.
Frigg is also the goddess of the sky. She is associated with the moon and the Orion's Belt constellation, also known as "Frigg's Distaff," which is said to symbolize femalewisdom.
Enormous keys hang from Frigg's gold belt, which represents the goddess's ability to unlock all doors and possibilities.
When her son Baldr had a dream that foretold his death, Frigg secured a promise from every being and element that no harm would come to her son-everything except the "harmless" mistletoe, which appears on this coin. Loki tricked Frigg into revealing Baldr's only vulnerability. He then fashioned a dart from mistletoe and convinced H _r, Baldr's blind twin brother, to throw it at Baldr. It pierced the god's heart and killed him instantly, sending Frigg deep into despair. She persuaded the Queen of the Underworld, Hel, to release Baldr's soul if every living thing wept for him,but his fate was sealed when the giantess Th kk refused to grieve.
