The Wolf That Hunts the Moon
The 2024 Ragnarök Hati is one troy ounce of 999.9 fine silver from Germania Mint, struck in a black finish and issued in an edition of 5,000. Hati is the wolf of Norse myth who runs down the Moon each night, and on this round he is caught mid-lunge beneath it. Each one comes in a capsule with a Germania Mint Certificate of Authenticity.
Hati, Son of Fenrir
The Prose Edda names him Hati Hróðvitnisson. Hati is usually read as “He Who Hates”, and Hróðvitnisson marks him as a son of Fenrir, whose other name was Hróðvitnir, the Famous Wolf. Hati pursues Máni, the Moon, across the night sky, while his brother Sköll pursues the Sun by day. When Ragnarök comes, both wolves close the gap and swallow what they have chased. Snorri gives one more name for the wolf that takes the Moon: Mánagarmr, the Moon-Hound.
A Moon Too Big to Miss
Kinga Sabatowicz fills the upper half of the design with a vast textured Moon, its surface cratered and rough, hanging over the wolf like the end it promises. Hati surges in from the left, tail streaming up the rim, fur raised and jaws open as he snarls toward a small moon symbol set inside a four-pointed star. Stars scatter across the dark field around him. HATI runs along the lower rim, and the designer’s KS initials sit at upper right.
The Moon Symbol and the Eagle
The other side repeats the moon symbol at its center, a crescent wrapped around a disc inside the same four-pointed star, ringed by a band of knotwork. Germania Mint’s two-headed eagle, its coat of arms, sits at the left. Above, the round reads GERMANIA 2024 and 1 oz Ag 999.9, with 5 MARK below, Germania Mint’s own denomination for this privately minted piece.
Struck as a Collectible
The design and the black finish are what you pay for beyond the silver. This is a collectible. Its value comes from its design, its edition and its place in the Ragnarök story, rather than its metal weight alone. Folks after the lowest cost per ounce will be better served by plain rounds.
