The world of bullion investing meets Scottish folklore with the launch of the Loch Ness Monster Gold and Silver Bullion Coins, the very first releases in the new Legendary Creatures series. These coins combine precious metal purity with one of the most enduring and recognisable myths in global culture, offering investors and collectors something truly distinctive.

By blending mythology, artistry, and intrinsic value, this new series opens a fresh chapter in themed bullion collecting.

A Legendary Beginning: Why the Loch Ness Monster?

Few legends are as universally recognised as the Loch Ness monster, often affectionately known as Nessie. Believed to inhabit the deep, dark waters of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, the creature has captured imaginations for centuries.

While historical accounts of strange sightings date back hundreds of years, global fascination exploded in 1934 following the circulation of the famous “surgeon’s photograph.” Since then, Nessie has become a symbol of mystery, storytelling, and Scotland’s rich mythological heritage, making it the perfect subject to launch the Legendary Creatures series.

Gold and Silver: Two Ways to Own the Legend

The Loch Ness Monster bullion coins are available in fine gold and fine silver, appealing to a wide range of investors and numismatists.
