CRYPTOZOOLOGY – MERMAID

The Mermaid – 1 AVDP Oz .999 Fine Copper Round | Cryptozoology Collection

Description:

Beautiful, deadly, and endlessly mysterious — the Mermaid swims into the Cryptozoology Collection with an image that’s more sea siren than fairy tale. Long before animated versions softened her legend, the mermaid was a creature of shipwrecks, omens, and oceanic fear — equal parts allure and danger.

Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and presents a commanding depiction: a fierce mermaid emerging from a throne of bones, surrounded by skeletal remains, shipwreck debris, and fellow sirens of the deep. Flowing hair, scaled tail, and piercing eyes are rendered with haunting elegance. The reverse features the collection’s common design — a series of animal and humanoid tracks beneath the “INTAGLIO MINT” banner, ending in the signature oversized footprint.

The Legend:

Mermaid lore stretches across cultures — from Greek sirens and Norse sea spirits to West African water deities. Often described as half-woman, half-fish, mermaids were believed to lure sailors to their doom with song and beauty. Whether seen as omens of peril or symbols of deep-sea power, they’ve haunted coastlines and imaginations for centuries.
