This Loch Ness Silver round will be made by Intaglio Mint from Denver, CO using two troy ounces of .999 fine silver. The Loch Ness Monster is an animal of myth, supposedly living in the big freshwater lake in the proximity of Inverness, Scotland. Whilst the tale of an aquatic creature that lives in the lake has been for around 1500 years, every effort has failed to discover definitive proof of the animal's existence. That did not, however, satisfy the passion of the public for 'Nessie.'

In a 1971 expedition to Loch Ness, the Boston Academy of Applied Science united sonar and submarine photography to attempt to locate Nessie. A picture they captured on that expedition was enhanced and appeared to show a large flipper from a creature similar to Nessie. In the 1980s and 1990s, further sonar expeditions led to more controversial results.

Expeditions by several British universities utilizing sonar to scour the depths of the lake. Nothing conclusive was discovered, however, during every expedition massive objects moving under the water could not be identified by the sonar operators.

The obverse will feature the famed Nessie with her head and neck above the water. In the background will be a depiction of the Scottish countryside. The words “LOCH NESS MONSTER” will be featured along the top of the round.

The reverse of this silver round is the same as most other Intaglio Mint rounds. It features a pillar bearing the words “EST. 2010” on it. Behind the pillar is a map of the Earth with “INTAGLIO” above and “MINT” below it. This is surrounded by beautifully crafted lines which are encircled by the words, “TWO TROY OUNCES” & “.999 FINE SILVER”.
