The reverse of the coin depicts Urd, the eldest of the three Norns, portrayed as a solemn and dignified female figure standing beneath the roots of Yggdrasil, the World Tree. With deliberate grace, she draws and holds the threads of fate, symbolizing the immutable weight of the past and the foundation upon which all destinies are built. The flowing lines of the threads intertwine with the massive roots and branches behind her, creating a dynamic composition rich in movement and depth. Fine sculptural details in her garments, hair, and symbolic elements emphasize craftsmanship and narrative intensity, while the inscription "URD" appears at the top of the design, identifying the guardian of what has already been written. The obverse presents the heraldic eagle of Germania at the center, surrounded by a textured background and flowing ornamental motifs that echo the threads of fate seen on the reverse. Around the central emblem are the inscriptions: "GERMANIA" - the issuing authority, "2026" - the year of issue, "1 oz" - the weight, "Ag 999.9" - the Silver fineness, and "5 MARK" - the face value.
