According to ancient Norse mythology, Thor was a hammer-wielding god of thunder, and is associated with lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also healing, and fertility. Thor was the son of Odin and Fyorgyn, the Earth goddess. His wife was Sif, a goddess who was also linked to fertility. Struck by The Perth Mint from 2oz of 99.9% pure silver, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.


The obverse of the coin portrays the Ian Rank-Broadley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the monetary denomination, and the 2016 year-date. To capture the depth and detail of the design, the coin is struck in high relief to a rimless format and features an antique finish. The coin is housed in a prestigious square wooden display case with stunning engraved detail on its lid, and packaged in a themed shipper. The coin is accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
