The oldest runic alphabet contains 24 characters. One of them is the rune Algiz, whose power is immortalized in one troy ounce of pure silver.

The runes of the ancient Germans could be compared to the alphabet of today, however, these characters were not only used to write heroic sagas or skaldic verses. Nordic legend says that Odin, the highest of the gods, sacrificed an eye to gain infinite wisdom including runic magic. This magic was then harnessed by humans who carved the runes into wood, bones, stone or metal. With their help, they could tell the future, heal and grant all kinds of wishes... Each emblem has a different power, with the Algiz rune repelling danger. It protects the bearer from physical and psychological harm.

Cast in pure silver, the rune has a patina and colour that can be revealed only by UV light. Each specimen also bears an individual number and the Germania Mint's mint mark.

The packaging takes the form of a stylish pouch.
