Item Description
 
The 2022 1 oz Chupacabra Silver Round from Intaglio Mint’s Folklore Series captures one of the most infamous cryptids in modern legend. Struck from 1 troy ounce of .999 fine silver, this round presents a dramatic interpretation of the Chupacabra, a creature whose name translates from Spanish as “goat-sucker.”
 
The Chupacabra legend first gained widespread attention in 1995 in Puerto Rico, when reports surfaced of a mysterious creature attacking livestock and draining their blood. The story quickly spread throughout Latin America and the southern United States, becoming one of the most recognizable cryptid legends in the Western Hemisphere.
 
Part of Intaglio Mint’s Cryptozoology/Folklore Series, this round celebrates creatures that exist on the edge of myth and mystery. With detailed engraving and a haunting design, the Chupacabra silver round offers both collectible appeal and investment-grade silver content.
