According to ancient Norse legends, at the end of every battle over a blood-soaked field, valkyries appeared to select the bravest and lead them to the hall of the gods. But one of them received a different fate. At the moment when the flames of the final battle consumed her, she did not burn to ash. From the fire she rose again, stronger than before, with wings black as obsidian and a crown of living flame. Thus was born the Phoenix Valkyrie, guardian of rebirth and a symbol that even from the darkest night, one can always emerge.
This very moment is captured on the PHOENIX VALKYRIE – OBSIDIAN FLAME edition coin. On the reverse stands a majestic winged goddess in the midst of golden flames. One hand reaches toward the sky while the other holds a branch as a sign of victory and new life. Her flowing dress, undulating hair, and fiery crown are rendered with remarkable plasticity. Behind her spreads a pair of dark wings, each feather meticulously engraved in detail. The contrast between radiant gold and deep black background lends the motif a drama that captivates at first glance.
On the obverse, an entire world of Norse mythology awaits you. In the center stands an ornate hall—Valhalla itself—surrounded by a circle of runes. Around it appear legendary beings in eight scenes: a pair of wolves, ravens on a branch, the armored wolf Fenrir, the eight-legged horse Sleipnir, the world serpent Jörmungandr, a winged dragon, a goat by the tree of life, and at the top a valkyrie herself with shield and spear. Each of these symbols tells its own story, and together they form a mythic epic that you can hold in your palm.
The coin is struck from pure .999 silver weighing one troy ounce. It is hand-enhanced with 24-karat gold, which illuminates the flames, the valkyrie’s figure, and the coin’s edge. Black platinum creates the deep, velvety dark background and shaded wings. The result is a perfect interplay of light and shadow that transforms with every angle of incoming light and appears almost alive.
The coin comes in a luxurious wooden case along with a certificate of authenticity, making it ideal as a gift and as a treasure for any collection. It is issued in a limited edition of just 500 pieces worldwide. Once they are sold out, no more will be created. The Phoenix Valkyrie rises only for those brave enough to welcome her. Acquire your piece of legend before it vanishes once more in the flames.
