Vegvisir Wayfinder Coin
The Vegvísir is an Icelandic magical stave, which, according to the Huld manuscript, protects one from losing their way in bad weather. Shire Post Mint created this coin to help guide us through modern moments of being lost at sea.
Encircling the Vegvísir is the runic transliteration of the Icelandic phrase, "Ég stoppar ekki Þegar Þreyttur, ég stoppar Þegar ég er búinn", which translates to, "I do not stop when tired, I stop when done."
The coin is struck in extra thick solid bronze 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. Coin artwork by Woody Maringer.
The surface is treated to look as if it has been handled and circulated. This process is done by hand, and it is both an art and a science, coloring and patinas will vary. No two are exactly the same.

Customer Reviews
Coin is very well made and looks "authentic old".
Feels pleasant to fiddle with it and the history behind it is great.
Top kwaliteit
Well made coin
Suprisingly heavy.
Ma précieuse.....
J'espère qu'elle ne manquera pas trop à Ragnar;)
Puisse-t-elle me guider jusqu'au Valhalla!
Nätti, kädessä painavan tuntuinen kolikko, joka taskun pohjalta etsiytyy jatkuvasti hypisteltäväksi. Hypistelyn aiheuttama kiillottuminen ja kolikkoon tehty patina tuovat miellyttävän efektin ulkonäköön.
Kolikko on molemmin puolin samanlainen, eli varma voittaja kolikonheitossa.
Kompassista on sen verran apua, etten ainakaan vielä ole kolikko taskussa eksynyt.
such a nice finish on it. love the size and weight, perfect for carrying with you and fidget.
great size for carrying it around every day. patina is lovely!
Neat packaging and a very well made coin to play with. Also great as a gift, too.
Heavy wayfinder coin with nice Patina.
