Intaglio Mint 2-oz Silver Gargoyle Type I Ultra High Relief Round BU

Scare Away Evil With the Help of this Silver Gargoyle

Since medieval times, Gargoyles have existed high above the ground perched atop churches, castles and other structures. Often terrifying in appearance, their purpose was not intended to scare people. Rather, they were meant scare away evil. Multi-taskers, gargoyles also served as conduits to divert rainwater. And now, these silent sentinels are featured on a new series that pays tribute to the gargoyles of the world.

Based on the Famous Notre-Dame Gargoyles

Struck by the Intaglio Mint in two ounces of highly pure 99.9% silver, this collectible round expertly captures the stoic presence of one of the famous gargoyles atop the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, France. The first release in the series, this “Type I” round features the inscription “NOTRE-DAME” to the left of the gargoyle’s horned head while the Paris skyline can be seen in the background. It’s only fitting that this French gargoyle kick off the series, since the word "Gargoyle" originates from the old French word Gargouille meaning “throat,” which also describes the gurgling sound of water as it flows through the downspout. Struck in Ultra High Relief (UHR) the details in the gargoyle’s horns, ears and skull are utterly fantastic!

Each Intaglio Mint Two-Ounce Silver Gargoyle Type I Ultra High Relief Round comes in original Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition with razor-sharp details that are as fresh and crisp as the day it left the mint.
