Gefion, often spelled Gefjun or Gefjon, is a significant goddess in Norse mythology, known for her ties to agriculture, plowing, and fertility. Her stories appear in several Old Norse texts, such as the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson. The meaning of her name, “the giving one” or “giver,” reflects her association with abundance and prosperity.

On the reverse side of Germania Mint Goddesses Gefion Cast Silver Bars, the Germania Mint showcases a colorized portrait of Gefion. She is shown in front-facing detail, with her outfit and helmet highlighted in shades of red and orange. Although linked to fertility, Gefion is also associated with virginity and considered a protector of unmarried women. This duality has led to various interpretations in Norse mythology, with some suggesting that her connection to virginity might symbolize a special form of power related to unmarried women in ancient society.

Gefion’s influence remains strong in modern Scandinavian culture. One of the most famous tributes to her is the Gefion Fountain in Copenhagen, Denmark. Unveiled in 1908 by Danish artist Anders Bundgaard, this impressive fountain depicts Gefion driving her oxen, representing her sons, and stands as a symbol of Norse mythology’s lasting impact.

Each of these 2 oz Germania Mint Goddesses Gefion Cast Silver Bars comes individually boxed with a Certificate of Authenticity from the Germania Mint.
