BH Mayer Mint – Norse God Cook Islands Coins. There are a few similarities between this series of the Perth Mint series. For starters, each coin has 2 oz of. 999 pure silver and features a high-relief proof striking with an antique finish. The most significant difference is the variety in the series. While Perth’s series features just two different designs to date, the BH Mayer Mint has released a total of 9 different designs. Specific information on each coin release is contained below. On the reverse face is the image of Odin as he sits upon his throne wielding a spear in his right hand. Engravings above his head read “Norse Gods” and his name in Norse, as well as his name translated in English below. The reverse side of the coin is the image of Thor, with the engravings “Norse Gods” and “Thor” accompanying the primary design. In Norse mythology, Thor was the son of Odin, King of the Gods. Thor’s place was by his father’s side, and he was associated with thunder, lightning, storms, and strength. The source of his power was his magical hammer, which could not be lifted by any god or human by himself. On the reverse face is the image of Tyr in full war gear, and he is even depicted with his right hand missing, a facet just visible on the arm holding his shield. On the reverse side of the coin you’ll find the image of Hel as she stands guard at the gates of the underworld. Hel is the being who presides over the underworld. For many Western civilizations, her name became the literal translation of the place over which she presided: hell. Hel is said to be the daughter of Loki.
