1 oz Copper Round - Nordic Creatures: The Great Eagle

---

The fifth installment of the Nordic Creatures series brings ancient mythology to life on a canvas of pure copper. This round features the artwork of Howard David Johnson, showcasing a majestic Great Eagle as it sits watchful on a branch of Yggdrasil, the legendary World Tree. The intricate design captures the powerful presence of this mythical bird, a central figure in Norse lore. On the other side, the design focuses entirely on Yggdrasil itself. The sprawling branches and deep roots of the World Tree are depicted in rich detail, symbolizing the connection between the different realms of Norse cosmology. The rim of the round is inscribed with its weight and purity, noting one avoirdupois ounce of 0.999 fine copper. Struck by the Osborne Mint, this piece represents a blend of modern minting artistry and ancient storytelling. With a production run limited to 100,000 pieces, it stands as a fascinating exploration of Northern European myth for anyone intrigued by legendary beasts and folklore.
