CRYPTOZOOLOGY – SQUONK

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

Description:

Heartbreaking and bizarre, the Squonk is unlike any other creature in the Cryptozoology Collection. Said to be so ashamed of its appearance that it dissolves into tears when spotted, this elusive Pennsylvania cryptid offers a touch of melancholy and humor — now captured in gleaming copper.

Struck in .999 fine copper, this 1 oz AVDP round measures 39mm and features a sorrowful depiction of the Squonk sitting alone, wrinkled and weeping in the woods. Its saggy hide, oversized features, and mournful eyes are etched with poignant detail, bringing charm and pathos to this unlikely legend. The reverse bears the standard Cryptozoology Collection design — a mix of claw, paw, and humanoid tracks beneath the “INTAGLIO MINT” header, tied together by a single bold footprint.

The Legend:

First appearing in early lumberjack lore, the Squonk is a mythical woodland creature said to be perpetually sad due to its unsightly skin and grotesque form. According to legend, it’s so self-conscious that it vanishes into a puddle of its own tears when confronted — making it perhaps the only cryptid with a tragic sense of self-awareness.

Highlights:

• Contains 1 oz. AVDP of .999 Fine Copper
• Obverse: A tearful Squonk seated in the forest, “SQUONK” inscribed above
• Reverse: Common Cryptozoology Collection reverse with cryptid tracks, large footprint, and “INTAGLIO MINT”
• Diameter: 39mm

A whimsical and oddly touching addition for collectors who appreciate folklore’s softer, stranger side.
