Gefion, also spelled Gefjun or Gefjon, is a revered goddess in Norse mythology, linked to farming, plowing, and fertility. Her presence is noted in several ancient Norse texts, including the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, compiled by Snorri Sturluson. The name Gefion translates to “the giving one” or “giver,” symbolizing her association with prosperity and fertility in Norse and Germanic cultures.

Obverse

The obverse of Silver Goddesses Gefion Cast Bars has simple markings stamped onto a rustic background. Youll find the Germania Mint logo along with the weight, metal content, and purity of the bar. Each bar also features a unique serial number.

Reverse

On the reverse side of 2 oz Silver Goddesses Gefion Cast Bars, the Germania Mint has included a detailed colorized image of Gefion. Her front-facing portrait is highlighted with shades of red and orange, particularly in her helmet and clothing. In Norse myths, Gefion is seen as a goddess connected to both fertility and virginity, a duality that has inspired many interpretations. Some believe her role as a virgin goddess later expanded to fertility, while others think this contrast refers to a unique power unmarried women held in Norse culture.

History

Gefions legacy is alive today, especially in Scandinavia. A notable tribute to her is the Gefion Fountain in Copenhagen, Denmark. Designed by Anders Bundgaard in 1908, this fountain illustrates the myth of Gefion and her oxen-sons and continues to be a popular attraction, reflecting the deep roots of Norse mythology in Danish culture.
