Mythical Forest: Yggdrasil Goldenleaf gilded 1 oz Silver 2025 Black Ruthenium

Mythical Forest: Yggdrasil Goldenleaf Gold-Plated 1 oz Silver 2025 Black Ruthenium is an exceptional collector coin inspired by Norse mythology and the symbolic Tree of Life—Yggdrasil. The issue belongs to the Mythical Forest series and combines modern minting techniques with deeply rooted symbolism of strength, rebirth, and the continuity of existence.

The coin is struck from 1 troy ounce of .9999 fine silver in BU quality and finished with precious metals. The application of black ruthenium creates a deep, contrasting background that perfectly highlights the gold-plated elements of the design. The gilding covers both the central motif and the details of the rim and the edge, giving the piece an elegant and expressive character.

The Yggdrasil motif depicted on the reverse symbolizes the cosmic tree connecting the nine worlds, serving as the axis of existence and a source of renewal. According to Norse mythology, this tree survived Ragnarök, becoming the foundation of a new beginning. As a result, the coin conveys a message of durability, strength, and the perpetual cycle of life.

The 2025 issue was produced by Germania Mint in a strictly limited mintage of 300 pieces. The coin’s diameter is 38.61 mm, making it an attractive proposition for collectors seeking modern issues with a pronounced mythological theme.

Obverse features the Germania Mint emblem—the two-headed eagle—which has been gold-plated, as has the coin’s rim. The inscriptions “GERMANIA,” the year of issue “2025,” and the face value “5 MARK” are also visible.

Reverse shows a gold-plated image of the Yggdrasil tree set against a black ruthenium–coated background, creating a strong contrast that accentuates the details of the symbolic Tree of Life.
