Description
This is the “First Gloaming” edition of the “Dwarven Soul” coin. Gloaming is an old word meaning ‘dusk’ and the orange band on the coin is supposed to look like sunset.

Here is a brief explanation of the symbols on the coin:
The anvil in the center represents The Maker who is the still center of Dwarven life, or as they put it, “The thing which is constant”. The flame behind the anvil is the Central Fire. This is the heat source under the earth which makes lava and magma. The seven pointed star represents the seven fathers of all Dwarves. The mountains represent all of the Dwarven homelands. The nine words, written in runes are nine metals. They represent the nine Dwarven personality types.
At the top is the first picture, which is a shining star and underneath is written ‘mithril’. The Dwarves who follow mithril seek perfection. They desire that everything be in the correct place.

The second point shows a cup and the metal of this path is tin. Tin, also known as pewter, is the metal used to make forks, spoons, cups, plates, and bowls. This is the metal of food and feasts. The Dwarves who follow tin greatly desire to make others happy with their gifts. Their homes are always open to guests and their pleasure is to keep every guest’s plate and cup full.

The third point shows a crown and the metal of this path is gold. Dwarves who follow gold are well versed in the ways of wealth. They understand profit and debt. They know the value of things and they are able to turn small resources into great resources.

The fourth point shows a moon partially lit and the metal of this path is silver. The Dwarves who follow silver are artists. They see things differently than others and they like to find beauty in both good things and bad. They cherish both their joy and their sorrow because these things make them different than all other souls in Midgard.

The fifth point shows a flame and the metal of this path is copper. Dwarves who follow copper cherish knowledge. To them, fire brings light and transformation.

The sixth point shows a hammer and the metal of this path is lead. Those who walk on the lead path like to be a part of a group. They are loyal and sure. They are slow to change their ways because they believe that once they have found the right way to do something, then they should try their best to see a task through until it is done.

The seventh point shows a retort and the metal of this path is mercury, also known as living silver. Dwarves who follow the mercury path are often said to be full of life. They laugh often and enjoy a good joke. A feast has not begun until a Dwarf who follows mercury is in the room.

The eighth point shows an axe and the metal of this path is iron. All Dwarves enjoy battle, but Dwarves who follow the iron path feel a strong cause in their heart that will lead them to take up arms. It is they who seek to change the world and will rally others around them to join in the fight.

The ninth point shows a balance and the metal of this path is ithildin. These Dwarves desire to bring an end to conflict. They try to always see both sides in every matter. Like ithildin itself, these Dwarve are quite rare.”
The runes in front of the rocks have an unknown meaning.
The runes in the outer ring have two purposes. There are 72 of them since each of the 24 runes of the elder futhark are found exactly three times each. Every rune has a meaning and the runes found on each side of the nine points of the star represent the traits of a Dwarf who follows that metal. The 72 runes can also be used for rune readings. This is like a Tarot reading. If the coin is spun on a mat with lines on it, when the coin stops spinning, it will point to one rune. Like with Tarot cards, the rune will indicate aspects of the past, present, or future.
