| Reverse description | Highly detailed and richly colored antiqued scene depicting the Norse hero Sigurd thrusting a sword into the body of the dragon Fafnir. The colossal dragon, rendered in vivid iridescent teal, gold, and crimson colorization, dominates the left and upper field with open jaws, outstretched clawed limbs, and membranous wings. Sigurd is depicted in uncolored relief at center-right, shown in a powerful lunging stance as he drives his blade into the beast, a hoard of golden treasure visible in the lower left field. A bleak winter landscape with bare trees and rocky crags forms the background in the right field. The legend 2 oz 999 Fine Silver is inscribed along the lower right periphery. |
