{{/presale}}For millennia, cultures around the world have created Gargoyles in the form of countless different images and figures. In medieval Europe, these monstrous creatures were originally mounted as rain spouts on the sides of buildings to keep water from running down and ruining the masonry. Their terrifying, gaping mouths through which rainwater poured was thought to ward off evil spirits and remind passers-by of the need for the church’s protection. Human qualities were often ascribed to specific gargoyles, giving them a scary yet eerily-benevolent appearance.
Now, the Intaglio Mint has reincarnated these ghoulish creatures in a distinctive new series of rounds called The Gargoyles of the World. The Intaglio Mint Gargoyle Type II round is intricately sculpted in a high-relief format from 2 oz .999 pure silver. Each round is a substantial 6 mm thick with a beautiful reeded edge. Add one of these exquisite and historic rounds to your collection today!

The obverse features another one of the many famous gargoyles that adorn Notre Dame in Paris. Resting its head in its hands and with its wings at rest, it is depicted gazing out over the Paris landscape. NOTRE-DAME is inscribed against a textured masonry background.
The reverse is shared across all Gargoyles of the World releases. GARGOYLES OF THE WORLD is inscribed in the center framed by a gothic architecture window. A gargoyle is menacingly perched on the “O” in gargoyle. The round’s weight, purity, and metal content are also inscribed.
Each 2 oz Silver Gargoyle Type II round was produced at the privately-held Intaglio Mint.
