Buy Two Ounce Mothman Silver Rounds Online

This Mothman Round is minted by Intaglio Mint using two troy ounces of .999 silver bullion. The origin of the Mothman is credited to five cemetery employees who on 12 November 1966 observed something which they identified as a "brown human being," flying from tree to tree over their heads in Clendenin, West Virginia. It was the first recorded observation of the Mothman, an elusive creature, which is now commonly celebrated by the town which it once terrorized but remains as mysterious as it was that night.

Only three days after the initial report, two couples spotted a white-winged creature at nearby Point Pleasant, West Virginia, about 6 or 7 feet tall standing in front of their car. The County Sheriff commented that he believed that a surprisingly big heron was responsible for the occurrences. Dr. Robert L. Smith at West Virginia University seemed to concur with the Sheriff by telling journalists that the sightings and stories all fit the description of the Sandhill Crane, a big American crane that can reach up to five feet in height and reddish eyes.This particular species of crane is not common is the region, so it is possible that it was just a case of mistaken identity. Despite these somewhat more reasonable explanations, the legend of the Mothman lives on.

The obverse of this Silver Round features the aforementioned Mothman hovering in midair in front of powerlines, showing that the Mothman was not afraid showing himself in public places. Above the creature are the words “THE MOTHMAN”.

The reverse of these silver rounds features the Intaglio Mint logo in the center. Minted above the logo are the words “TWO TROY OUNCES”, and minted below the logo are the words “.999 FINE SILVER”. This reverse is consistent will almost all 2 oz Silver Rounds from the Intaglio Mint.
