The collection includes reference to religious elements through the Holy Yggdrasil Tree as well as the formation of an early legal system represented through an assembly on Tynwald Hill.<\/p>\n<p>The reverse design depicts the Yggdrasil tree, an immense ash tree at the centre of the cosmos and considered very Holy. The branches of Yggdrasil extend far into the heavens represented by three roots that extend far away into different locations. One to the well Ur\u00f0arbrunnr in the heavens, one to the spring Hvergelmir, and another to the well M\u00edmisbrunnr which supports the tree. Creatures live within Yggdrasil, including the dragon N\u00ed\u00f0h\u00f6ggr, an unnamed eagle, and the stags D\u00e1inn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Dura\u00fer\u00f3r.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\" ubtn-ctn-left \"><a class=\"ubtn-link ult-adjust-bottom-margin ubtn-left ubtn-normal \" href=\"https:\/\/www.samlerhuset.no\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" ><button type=\"button\" id=\"ubtn-8395\"  class=\"ubtn ult-adjust-bottom-margin ult-responsive ubtn-normal ubtn-no-hover-bg  none  ubtn-left   tooltip-662d096a8fd8d\"  data-hover=\"\" data-border-color=\"\" data-bg=\"#282785\" data-hover-bg=\"\" data-border-hover=\"\" data-shadow-hover=\"\" data-shadow-click=\"none\" data-shadow=\"\" data-shd-shadow=\"\"  data-ultimate-target='#ubtn-8395'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}'  style=\"font-weight:normal;border:none;background: #282785;color: #ffffff;\"><span class=\"ubtn-hover\" style=\"background-color:\"><\/span><span class=\"ubtn-data ubtn-text \" >ORDER HERE<\/span><\/button><\/a><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Viking coin collection highlights the history and heritage of the Vikings telling the story of their journeys, culture and society aiming to highlight some of the lesser known aspects&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":905,"template":"","dt_portfolio_category":[10,11],"dt_portfolio_tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
