| Reverse description | A dramatic, high-relief depiction of Loki, the Norse trickster god, rendered in gold-toned selective gilding against an antiqued silver field. Loki is shown as a armoured figure wearing a horned helmet, his expression fierce and cunning, striding forward and surrounded by his mythological offspring: Sleipnir the eight-legged horse rearing behind him, an eagle to the right, and the great serpent Jormungandr coiling at lower right. The entire central scene is framed by an intricately engraved Celtic knotwork border. The arc legend NORSE GODS appears at the top of the inner field accompanied by runic characters, and the name LOKI is inscribed in bold letters at the base. |

Part of the broader wave of licensed character bullion coins that flooded the collector market in the early 2020s, this piece was issued under Cook Islands' long-standing arrangement as a nominal issuer for third-party minting programs — a relationship that has produced hundreds of themed legal-tender coins bearing face values that bear no relation to actual purchasing power on the island. The real issuing authority is typically a European mint acting under license.
Loki's Marvel Cinematic Universe rights were held by Disney following the 2009 acquisition of Marvel Entertainment for approximately $4 billion.
