The Vegvísir Guides the Way Through the Storm

  • Solid bronze, 12 grams
  • 3.3 cm diameter
  • Drilled and mounted onto a keyring with a heavy jump ring

"...if this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known." - Huld Manuscript

The Vegvísir, or Norse compass, is an Icelandic magical stave that, according to the Huld manuscript, protects one from losing one's way in bad weather. The Vikings used the word "hafvilla" or "bewildered," which means to have no sense of direction or be lost at sea. We created this coin to help guide us through modern moments of hafvilla.

The solid bronze coin is struck with an incuse design, in which the letters are lowered rather than raised. This way, the lettering will stay dark even if the coin is carried daily.

Coins are struck one at a time in the USA using antique machinery and traditional coining techniques. The coin is designed and engraved by Woody Maringer. The key is not included.

Shire Post Mint

Tom Maringer began making coins in 2003 for George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. Since then, Shire Post Mint has grown into an internationally recognized company known for attention to detail and a high level of craftsmanship, all while still being super nerdy!

Shire Post Mint aims to keep traditional coinmaking alive. Designs are hand-engraved into tool steel, then hardened, and mounted into an antique coin press, where they are struck into solid metals such as copper, bronze, silver, iron, brass, and niobium. The coins are antiqued to perfect the patina and give them a lovely softness in the hand.

Their work and process have been featured on PBS, TIME.com, Art Insider, GEEK.com, and more.
