The second in the Cryptid Creature collectible series from Osborne Mint features The Jackalope master crafted in one troy ounce of .999 fine silver.
What could be more fitting for the pride of Douglas, Wyoming, known as the “Jackalope Capital of the World,” than commemorating their city’s mascot, the jackalope, in pure silver metal. Osborne Mint has done just this in the latest addition to their Cryptid Creatures Collection. Osborne Mint is the oldest privately owned and operated mint in America minting silver, bronze and copper rounds and ingots since 1835, featuring presidents to aliens, war posters to jackalopes.
“The Cryptids are rapidly becoming one of my favorite collections. The research, the conversations, and the believers are so exhilarating. The more I discover about these somewhat mythical creatures, the more I believe. Our rendition of the jackalope will serve notice to the presence, history, and reality of these critters,” stated Gibson Olpp, Marketing Manager at Osborne Mint. “Celebrate the jackalope with this made in America fine silver collectible.”
The history, heritage, and folklore that are the Jackalope are enveloped in this collectible round. Not only is the jackalope itself prominently featured, but the folktale is maintained with the addition of the cowboy boot, the bottle of rye whiskey, and the full glass of whiskey awaiting its recipient. This art is minted onto one troy ounce of .999 Fine Silver, along with these words of wisdom: “FEAR the Jackalope.” The silver collectible is 39 mm (1.54”) in diameter and is 0.12” thick with detailed engraving.
The common reverse for this collection contains the Osborne Mint logo, synonymous with quality, purity, authenticity, and artistry. This side also formalizes the weight and metal of the piece being “one troy ounce” and “.999 fine silver”. Along with the starred and striped shield blanketed with the spread wings of an eagle, is a banner signifying the collection by name – Cryptid Creatures.
