The Anonymous Mint introduced its Norse God Series of silver rounds in recent years with 1 oz silver proofs available as the first option. These silver rounds delivered five designs representing the major deities from Norse mythology: Odin, Thor, Hel, Freya, and Loki. Given the popularity of the designs, a continuation was offered up with 1 oz and 5 oz antique silver rounds using the same designs. Now, the collection continues once again in a new release of 1 oz BU silver rounds and 1 oz gold-plated silver rounds.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 1 oz Silver Norse God Series Thor Rounds is a depiction of the God of Thunder wielding his trusted hammer. The hammer is named Mjolnir and can only be wielded by Thor.

In this design, Thor holds out his hammer as lightning begins to gather while he rides his chariot across the skies. The inscriptions include Thor and God of Thunder.
