| Reverse description | A bearded Viking warrior in full battle attire strides forward in dynamic combat against a coiling serpentine sea monster, whose sinuous body and gaping jaws dominate the lower field in an intricate knotwork style. A bare, flame-scorched tree rises behind the warrior, flanked by two celestial bodies — a radiant sun to the left and a sun-and-crescent symbol to the right — evoking the apocalyptic Norse myth of Ragnarök. Flames and stylized waves fill the field, rendered in a bold Norse artistic tradition. The inscription RAGNARÖK arcs across the upper portion of the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The Isle of Man Treasury has operated as an unusually prolific issuer of commemorative coinage since the 1970s, frequently licensing pop-culture and entertainment properties at a pace that most sovereign mints avoid entirely. Ragnarok-themed issues fall squarely into that commercial program, produced for the collector and bullion market rather than circulation.
The .9999 fine standard places this above the traditional crown gold specification and aligns it with modern refinery-grade bullion practice first popularized by the Royal Canadian Mint's Maple Leaf program in 1979.
