Bigfoot 2 oz Silver Round

A fleeting shape in the woods, an oversized footprint and a story that refuses to fade: Bigfoot has become one of North America’s most recognizable wilderness legends. Intaglio Mint captures that sense of mystery in a detailed, high-relief design struck in 2 troy ounces of .999 fine silver.

From Forest Stories to a Regional Icon

Bigfoot is especially associated with the forests of the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Encyclopedia traces the modern legend through reported encounters, logging-camp storytelling and the growing public fascination with large tracks after 1958. The famous 1967 film from northern California became another focus of debate, without settling the creature’s existence.

The name Sasquatch has a different linguistic history: it is an English adaptation of Sasq’ets from Halq’emeylem, a language of southwestern British Columbia. Indigenous traditions have their own meanings and histories, which should not be reduced to a single modern monster story.

Bigfoot’s cultural footprint extends well beyond alleged sightings. Washington used Harrison Bigfoot as a centennial mascot in 1989, and Oregon introduced Seski the Sasquatch for its 150th anniversary in 2009. Those playful appearances show how an elusive forest figure became a familiar symbol of the region.

Design Details

Obverse: A detailed, high-relief portrayal places Bigfoot in a wilderness setting. The design makes the legendary figure the focus, giving collectors a close view of a subject usually imagined as a distant glimpse among the trees.

Reverse: The high-relief Intaglio Mint logo sits against a radial burst. A stippled border frames “TWO TROY OUNCES” and “.999 FINE SILVER,” with stars at either side.

The 39 mm round combines a reeded edge with a Brilliant Uncirculated finish. Its substantial two-ounce format suits the bold subject, making it a natural companion to other rounds inspired by folklore, wilderness and legendary creatures.
