2013 Tuvalu Mythical Creatures WEREWOLF 1oz Silver Proof Coin The Perth Mint.

This certificate accompanies a coin from the Mythical Creatures series. Struck by The Perth Mint on behalf of Coin Club Australia from 1oz of 99.9% pure silver in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the authority of the Government of Tuvalu.
Originally a fabled creature of European folklore, the werewolf is believed to be a human who had the ability to transform into a wolf or wolf hybrid, either purposefully or by the use of magic. According to legend, the metamorphosis from human to beast was commonly associated with the appearance of a full moon. In its animal form, the werewolf possessed exceptional strength, speed and acute senses, far beyond that of a man or a wolf.
The coin's reverse portrays a coloured werewolf fiercely prowling within a dense forest background beneath a full moon. A medieval style banner displays a silhouette of a werewolf and the monetary denomination, with the inscription 'werewolf' featured on a scroll at the base of the design.
