series of beasts: Fafnir (Fáfnir (in Old Norse and Icelandic: "he who embraces [the treasure?]"), also called Fáfner or Frænir

Fafnir was wise and powerful and is the ancestor of today's dragon image. The name of the dragon arrived in most European languages ​​from Latin, which uses the word draco, derived from the Greek drakan - sharp eyes. This leads us to believe that dragons were not just sinister but highly intelligent beasts. Mythology and legends are full of stories about dragons that are used to understand the world and teach important lessons. Fafnir is the dragon of Germanic mythology. He possessed Andwari's great treasure, which he fiercely defended. According to legends, consuming his blood develops supernatural powers. Fafnir, like any dragon, did not exist simply for itself, but largely as a backdrop for daring adventurers.

The coin design was precisely planned and created by Natalia Danysz. The idea used in this project is very rare in Numismatic World before! Apparently two separate displays make up an integral part. Fafnir's visualization was created in the way that two parts of his body placed on the obverse and reverse of a coin create the image of a dragon's body arranged in the shape of an infinity sign. To see this effect, the coin must be flipped or two coins with Fafnir, obverse and obverse, must be placed on top of each other.

The integral part of the coins of the Germany series is the symbol of the double-headed eagle. On the Fafnir coins there is the eagle on the reverse, surrounded by a dragon's tail - silver (Silver) .999 - conservation as in the photo - product code P / 08825_C
