|  | | Nordic Gold "Mermaid" Coins that Escaped the Nazis | |
There's something special about World War II-era coins, but few reflect the history and adventure of that time like the coins in the Nordic Hoard. The world's largest gold hoard, the Nordic Hoard was the jewel in Adolf Hitler's invasion plans for Norway. But even Hitler and all his power couldn't get his hands on them. That's because in April of 1940, as Nazi bombs were flattening Norwegian cities, a handful of brave and determined men removed the gold from the Norwegian State Bank and began a month-long game of "cat and mouse" with the Nazis as they smuggled the gold to England. |

The gold coins from the Nordic Hoard are now highly sought-after by collectors all over the world. After sitting deep in the vaults of the Bank of England for nearly 50 years, these coins are now available to collectors. One of the most exquisite coins from this hoard is this 10 Kroner from Denmark that features a design of Dania - the spirit of Denmark. Because the curled tail of a dolphin resting at her feet makes Dania look like a mermaid, these coins are called "Gold Mermaids." Minted from 1873 to 1900, these coins are in Choice Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Considering that each is over 100 years old and has literally been through a war, it's remarkable to find them in this condition. Each coin has its original mint luster with nice deep strikes.
By escaping Hitler's grasp, the vast Norwegian gold reserves became the largest gold hoard in history. Now you can own a fantastic piece of World War II history. Scarce and hard-to-obtain, European gold coins of this quality are seldom seen today. And with only 50 coins on hand, they will not be available for long! |
