Folklore from around the globe includes tales of mysterious creatures whose existence remains uncertain to this day. In the Americas, one of the most famous is the Chupacabra. The name Chupacabra, meaning “goat-sucker” in Spanish, comes from its alleged habit of attacking and drinking the blood of livestock, especially goats.

Obverse

The obverse of the Intaglio Mint Chupacabra Silver Round depicts the mythical Chupacabra in a slight left-profile relief as it looms over the body of a goat, caught in the act of draining its blood.

The reverse side of the 1 oz Chupacabra Silver Round features a common design for Intaglio Mint silver rounds, including an I-shaped column at the center with a beaded border and the identifying hallmarks of the round. The name of the mint is also inscribed on this side.

History

The Chupacabra is said to attack animals, particularly livestock, and drain them of blood through small incisions. This vampire-like behavior is central to its mythology. The Chupacabra quickly became a part of modern folklore, especially in Latin American cultures. It has been featured in various forms of media, including books, movies, and television shows.
