The devices are gilded, which sets them up nicely against the ruddy field of terracotta. Gilding on the round is on the obverse is yellow gold and the other features rose gold for a nice contrast.
The reverse of each round features the rest of Fafnir, including the rest of his body and tail. The tail coils around the two-headed eagle at the center of the reverse. Placing two of the coins together, one positioned on top of the other just right, lets you create the entire image of Fafnir.
Fafnir is a dragon from Norse mythology. He actually starts out as a dwarf, and the myth about his family involves a great deal of intrigue and even a meet-up with the trickster god Loki. A series of events leads Fafnir to change forever into a dragon, and his dragon form was known as a fierce, potentially dangerous personality in the mythos.
