World of Cryptids 08 Sasquatch silver coin (2023 Lithuanian Mint)

Another series we have a very high regard for, the 12-coin (all to be released in 2023), ‘World of Cryptids’ series, based on the work of Lithuanian artist, Laimutė Varkalaitė, continues with its eighth release. These carry very distinctive artwork, and the artist has cast a net over the whole world for inspiration, with creatures from almost all continents.
This time around we’re with one of the more famous cryptids, the North American beast, Sasquatch. It’s a very unusual depiction, almost lion-like rather than the large, upright ape-like creature of Hollywood fame. It remains a striking piece, more than living up to the standards of this awesome series.
You can see all eight designs in our full Coin Series Profile. The next issue will be a dragon, with a Jinn, a Wendigo, and the Yeti, rounding out the series over the rest of 2023. They can be bought direct from the Lithuanian Mint HERE, or from various dealers for €119.
