2 oz Jackalope Silver Round

Buy Two Ounce Jackalope Silver Rounds Online

The origin of the American jackalope, the namesake for this silver round, is attributed to Douglas Herrick of Douglas, Wyoming. Herrick came up with the idea when him and his brother returned from a jackrabbit hunting trip in 1932, when Herrick threw a dead rabbit into their taxidermy shop and it came to rest next to a pair of antlers. This incidental pairing caused Herrick to come up with the idea for a Jackalope. The brothers created stuffed jackalopes using rabbit carcasses and sold them. The first jackalope was sold for $10. The jackalope has become a prominent local attraction in Douglas, where tourists may receive Jackalope Hunting Licenses from the Chamber of Commerce. There is an 8-foot statue of a jackalope in the middle of the town of Douglas, and in early June the town hosts the annual Jackalope Days Celebration.

The 2 oz Jackalope Rounds are minted by the Intaglio Mint, like many of the 2 oz rounds we sell at SD Bullion. These silver rounds are minted using .999 fine silver.

The obverse of this 2 oz silver round will feature a Jackalope. The Jackalope featured is in the desert, with dead trees, and a sheer cliff minted behind it. Minted above this mythical creature is its name, “JACKALOPE”.

The reverse of the Jackalope Round is the same as most other Intaglio Mint rounds. It features a pillar bearing the words “EST. 2010” on it. Behind the pillar is a map of the Earth with “INTAGLIO” above and “MINT” below it. This is surrounded by beautifully crafted lines which are encircled by the words, “TWO TROY OUNCES” & “.999 FINE SILVER”.
