2013 1oz Silver Proof - Mythical Creatures - WEREWOLF (Coloured)

Mythical Creatures Series - The Werewolf

A certificate accompanies a coin from the Mythical Creatures series.  Struck by The Perth Mint on behalf of Coin Club Australia from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.

Originally a fabled creature of European folklore, the werewolf is believed to be a human who had the ability to transform into a wolf or wolf hybrid, either purposefully or by the use of magic.  According to legend, the metamorphosis from human to beast was commonly associated with the appearance of a full moon.  In its animal form, the werewolf possesed exceptional strength, speed and acute senses, far beyond that of a man or a wolf.

The coin's reverse portrays a coloured werewolf fiercely prowling within a dense forest background beneath a full moon.  A medieval style banner displays a silhouette of a werewolf and the monetary denomination, with the inscription "werewolf" featured on a scroll at the base of the design.

The coin's obverse depicts the Ian Rank-Boradley effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the 2013 year-date.
