The 2024 Germania Artefacts: Gjallarhorn 1 oz Silver Round (BU) is a brilliant uncirculated collector piece that continues the acclaimed Germania Mint Artefacts series. Crafted from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver, this stunning round pays homage to the legendary Gjallarhorn of Norse mythology—a sacred horn associated with Heimdall, the watchman of the gods. As the fourth release in the Artefacts series, the 2024 Gjallarhorn issue merges historical symbolism with expert silver craftsmanship. Presented in a brilliant uncirculated finish, this 1 oz version delivers the same mythical storytelling and intricate design that defines the series, now in a more accessible and investment-friendly format.
The Artefacts series is Germania Mint’s tribute to legendary symbols of Germanic and Norse heritage, combining numismatic artistry with ancient mythology. Previous releases in the series included iconic objects such as the Spatha sword and the Ancient Shield. Each piece in the Artefacts line represents a legendary item revered for its power and cultural significance. With the 2024 release, Germania Mint focuses on Gjallarhorn—believed to be the instrument that signals the onset of Ragnarök. The 1 oz silver round captures the spirit of the mythical horn, enabling collectors and investors to own a piece of symbolic antiquity rendered with modern precision.
The obverse design of the round showcases the Gjallarhorn in all its glory, its spiral form coiled with elegant Norse ornamentation and ancient runic symbols. The design emphasizes both visual depth and texture through expertly sculpted relief, with fine details adorning the horn’s surface and surrounding background elements. Set against a radiant backdrop of abstract energy swirls, the horn is prominently centered to symbolize its mythic resonance across time and space. The use of light and shadow in the engraving enhances the sense of dimension, even in the BU format. While it does not feature gilding or antique finish like the 2 oz version, the crisp detail and mirrored accents in this uncirculated edition give it standout brilliance.
The reverse features the official Germania Mint Artefacts emblem, framed within a stylistic border of knotwork and laurel leaves. At its core is the Germania Mint heraldic double-headed eagle inside a circular shield, surrounded by the inscriptions “GERMANIA ARTEFACTS 2024,” “1 oz .9999 FINE SILVER,” and a unique serial number engraved along the rim. As with other rounds in the series, the design balances ancient iconography with precise modern geometry, reinforcing the idea of bridging myth with present-day artistry. The brilliant uncirculated finish on the reverse allows for strong contrast between frosted and polished elements, creating visual appeal while ensuring clarity of all inscriptions and motifs.
Struck in .9999 fine silver, this 1 oz round measures approximately 38.6 mm in diameter and is struck with a standard bullion thickness, making it a convenient and popular choice among investors who prefer collectible rounds with strong resale potential. The BU finish provides a sleek, reflective surface with light frosting in select areas to create design contrast. Unlike its ultra high relief counterpart, this edition is better suited for stacking and storage while retaining all key design elements and symbolic storytelling. It appeals to collectors who want the visual narrative of the Artefacts series in a lighter, more widely available silver weight.
With a mintage limited to just 25,000 pieces worldwide, the 2024 Gjallarhorn 1 oz silver round enjoys scarcity that enhances its collectibility without pricing it out of reach. Each round is individually serialized on the edge—a signature feature of Germania Mint products—and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. The round is housed in a specially designed blister card with artistic imagery and technical specifications, providing both display appeal and secure packaging. The compact, tamper-evident packaging enhances the piece’s desirability for both gifting and long-term preservation.
The mythological foundation of this piece lies in the Norse legend of Heimdall, who is destined to blow the Gjallarhorn to signal the beginning of Ragnarök—the end-of-days battle in which the gods face their doom. The horn is said to emit a sound so powerful it can be heard in all realms. Its inclusion in the Artefacts series signifies not only mythic power but the role of fate and duty in ancient beliefs. Germania Mint’s depiction of the Gjallarhorn respects this legendary weight by creating a design that evokes celestial energy, watchful protection, and the inevitable call to destiny embedded in Norse lore.
Collectors of the Artefacts series will appreciate the thematic consistency in this fourth installment. Like its predecessors, the Gjallarhorn round uses historically inspired engraving, symbolic symmetry, and fine silver to elevate a mythological object into a tangible artifact. Its BU finish distinguishes it from the antique and gilded 2 oz edition while maintaining the same core design and storytelling. The lower weight and higher mintage make it an accessible entry into the series for newer collectors or those seeking to accumulate silver with added artistic merit.
The round also serves as a compelling numismatic complement to the Germania Mint’s broader catalog, which includes their flagship Germania bullion series and myth-themed designs. The Gjallarhorn round fits well in collections centered on ancient history, mythology, and world culture, particularly for those fascinated by Norse cosmology and the mythic artifacts that shaped early European tradition. Its visual impact, backed by low mintage and serialized packaging, makes it both a practical bullion piece and a narrative-driven collectible.
The 2024 Germania Artefacts: Gjallarhorn 1 oz Silver Round (BU) is a refined expression of mythology, design, and fine silver. Combining brilliant uncirculated finish with .9999 purity, a thoughtful theme, and secure presentation, this round upholds the Germania Mint’s reputation for excellence in storytelling and silverwork. Whether added to a growing Artefacts collection, acquired as a standalone display piece, or stacked for long-term silver investment, the Gjallarhorn round offers beauty, symbolism, and enduring value.
