Gefion, also spelled Gefjun or Gefjon, is a key goddess in Norse mythology, with deep connections to agriculture, plowing, and fertility. Her stories are featured in several Old Norse texts, including the Poetic Edda and Snorri Sturlusons Prose Edda. The meaning of her name, “the giving one” or “giver,” highlights her ties to abundance and fertility in both Norse and Germanic traditions.

Obverse

The obverse of the 2 oz Goddesses Gefion Cast Silver Bars includes essential details stamped into a rustic surface. Youll find the Germania Mint logo here, along with the bars weight, purity, and metal content. Theres also a serial number that uniquely identifies each bar.

Reverse

On the reverse, the Germania Mint features a colorized portrait of Gefion. Her figure is shown in front-facing detail, with rich red and orange highlights on her clothing and helmet. While often associated with fertility, Gefion also has links to virginity, a duality that has puzzled many. Some believe she was originally viewed as a virgin goddess before later being tied to fertility, while others think her role as protector of unmarried women hints at a unique form of power they held in Norse culture.

History

Today, Gefions influence remains strong in Scandinavia. One of the most famous tributes to her is the Gefion Fountain in Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by Anders Bundgaard and completed in 1908, the fountain shows Gefion driving her oxen and is a popular site that celebrates Norse mythologys continued importance in Danish culture.
