The two separate Obverse & Reverse images create an integral picture. To emphasize the uniqueness, the worldwide mintage of this coins is limited to 100 sets. The obverse & reverse story To emphasize amazingness of the Fafnir, we have created special edition set of two improved coins, refined with gold,metallic Bordeaux, and space green! Of course, we didn’t stop with just the regular refining. Each coin from the set has been covered by elements (gold, ruthenium and palladium) in a different way. The background of one coin is covered by ruten and Fafnir is covered by gold. The effect on the other coin from the set is opposite. This means that you can endlessly admire two types of pattern, golden or anthracite dragon shaped in infinity. The coin design has been precisely planned and created by Natalia Danysz. The idea used in this project is very rare in the Numismatic World! Seemingly two separate displays compose integral part. The Fafnir’s visualisation has been created in a way, where two parts of its body placed on obverse and reverse of one coin create an image of a dragon’s in the infinity sign shape. To see this effect, coin needs to be flipped or two coins with Fafnir needs to be placed, obverse & reverse, one above the other. The integral part of Germania series is the symbol of two-headed eagle. On Fafnir’s coins eagle is located on the reverse, encircled by dragon’s tail. Limited quantity, 100 pieces only, creates a remarkable opportunity to become an exclusive owner of precious coins. Also its upgraded look and elegant packaging make it an amazing gift for numismatists or even for someone who is not an avid collector. Sets of coins are numbered and coins in set are marked as coin A and coin B. This makes every set unique and guaranties its authenticity. The Fafnir dragon is a legend and we are convinced that our Fafnir Geminus will be legendary! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These distinctive 2020 2 x 1 Germania Beasts Fafnir Silver Coins are available to you inside of individual blistercards that have Germania Mint's exclusive duo capsules to house each coin.
