Human folklore across the globe is rich with legends of mysterious creatures whose existence has never been proven. In the Americas, few cryptids are as infamous as the Chupacabra. The name translates from Spanish as “goat-sucker,” a reference to the creature’s alleged habit of attacking livestock—particularly goats—and draining their blood. This enduring legend is captured in the striking 1 oz Intaglio Mint Chupacabra Silver Round.

The earliest widely reported sightings of the Chupacabra date back to 1995 in Puerto Rico, where a woman named Madelyne Tolentino claimed to have encountered the creature. Her account ignited public fascination and led to numerous reported sightings throughout Latin America and the southern United States.
 
This silver round is part of Intaglio Mint’s Cryptozoology series, which celebrates legendary creatures from folklore and myth. Other designs in the series feature iconic figures such as the Mothman, Kraken, Jersey Devil, Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, and Jackalope. Rounds are packaged individually in plastic flips or in protective tubes containing 20 pieces.
 
The obverse of the Chupacabra Silver Round presents a detailed relief of the mythical creature shown in left-profile as it hovers over a fallen goat, seemingly caught mid-feed. The dramatic imagery highlights the eerie nature of the legend.
 
On the reverse, the round bears Intaglio Mint’s signature design: an I-shaped column centered within a beaded border, accompanied by the mint’s name and identifying silver hallmarks. The clean, classic reverse complements the bold artwork on the obverse.
