This unique Cthulhu "Hobo style" Coin is a must-have for any fan of cosmic horror and HP Lovecraft's monsters. Crafted in base metals to resemble a replica US silver dollar coin, this replica features the horrifying visage of the Great Old One Cthulhu on the Obverse and a traditional US style "tails side" eagle and arrows on the reverse. In God we trust… but in which god? The tentacled, slumbering, mad priest of the elder beings of the void perhaps? This coin is a perfect memento for collectors of science fiction and horror memorabilia, especially Lovcraftian variety, and those who may have attended Miskatonic University… and lived to tell the tale.
With its intricate design based on the famed Petersen Gaming design, and great attention to detail almost close enough to the real thing to pass for an old coin in hand… until the horror of the tentacled beast is revealed… this coin is sure to impress.
Whether you are a seasoned Eldritch Horror collector, an retiring monster hunter, or just starting out in… whatever this is you've gotten yourself into… this Cthulhu dollar coin is a great addition to any collection.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this piece of science fiction and horror history.
Collector Notes:
If you are a true believer, you know one of these coins may buy you safe passage to R'lyeh. There are but a few still known to exist among the treasures hoarded by the most dedicated collectors of Mythos objects (those who've remain sane, that is). Make yourself one of that assemblage of curiosity seekers and explorers with such a coin.
Corrupted by the image of the Great Lord God Cthulhu, High Priest of the Old Ones, legend has it that such a coin will warm to the touch as one approaches the ancient lost city of R'lyeh... or when The Great Old One, the slumbering horror, Cthulhu, arises and is walking near. These coins will also allow the bearer to command Deep Ones and temporarily restrain them from their natural instinct to feast on mammalian flesh – at least that of the holder of the coin.
Legend also promises that possession of this coin spares the holder from the arcane and mind bending influences of the Creeping Chaos, so that they may maintain their sanity long enough to serve their master in his quest for cosmic re-awakening. That said, the owner must be careful. The subsonic vocalizations of the Eldritch Gods, which effect our spatial plane when the Old Ones are about to be unleashed from their infra-dimensional realms, will vibrate and warm these most base metals until they eventually liquify. This happens without much warning, rendering the holder powerless against the ravaging forces of the mighty god-beast, Cthulhu, and his kin - the deep ones, the kraken, the giant vampire squid, the beastly octopus, and the like.
These are real metal coins, replicas of vintage US currency, truly struck without the use of resins, glues, or clays. Accept no imitations or imposters. Cthulhu would not have it, nor should you.
How we got these coins, in case you're interested:
Mythos Mint was researching having our own coins coins struck overseas and as part of the [process we wanted to see what the factory could produce. This factory happened to have made Cthulhu coins before so we were understandably very excited to work with them. We paid for what we thought were 10 samples of their favorite such coin sight unseen. But… it was actually 100 samples due to a typo by the order taker. We were charged and the items shipped before we could correct the typo. Shipping being what it is, returns were not a viable option. So, we are doing our best to sell a few of these beauties to offset our costs. We are selling them as cheaply as we can and we have a bunch left, so feel free to load up.
