Fafnir was wise and powerful and it’s the ancestor of today’s dragon image. The name of the dragon came to most European languages from Latin, which uses the word Draco, derived from the Greek Arakan – sharp-eyed. This lets us believe the dragons were not only sinister but very intelligent beasts. The mythology and legends are full of stories about dragons that are used to understand the world and teach important lessons. Fafnir is a dragon from Germanian mythology. He owned the great treasure of Andvari, which he fiercely defended. According to legends, the consumption of his blood develops supernatural powers. Fafnir, like every dragon didn’t simply exist for his own sake but largely as a background for bold adventurers. Fafnir’s visualization has been created in a way, where two parts of its body are placed on the obverse and the reverse of one coin to create an image of a dragon’s body arranged in the infinity sign shape. To see this effect, a coin needs to be flipped or two coins with Fafnir need to be placed, obverse & reverse, one above the other.
