Gothic Horror – Dracula 1 oz Silver 2025
Gothic Horror – Dracula 1 oz Silver 2025 is an extraordinary fusion of aesthetics and noble silver with a fineness of 999, crafted by the prestigious mint The Royal Mint. This one-ounce collector’s coin serves as a striking tribute to the literary legacy of Bram Stoker, encapsulated in an impressive coin that will delight both numismatic aficionados and fans of dark tales.
The coin forms part of the unique “Gothic Horror” series, whose debut generated excitement among investors and collectors of literary-themed pieces. The reverse design was born from the creativity of American artist Joel Iskowitz, renowned for creating evocative narrative scenes in numismatic art. Inspiration was drawn from the Gothic novel published in 1897, which cemented the myth of Dracula as one of popular culture’s most famous vampires. Utilizing high-purity silver has produced an exceptional investment-grade product, where every detail—flying bats, a ruined castle, and Dracula’s flowing cloak—stands out with sharp, contrasting relief.
This coin was struck in a limited edition of 15,000 pieces, making it a prized addition to any collection and an attractive investment opportunity. Additionally, The Royal Mint applied a delicate micro-guilloché background, providing both anti-counterfeiting security and compositional depth. The subtle sheen of the silver harmonizes perfectly with the design’s dark mood, ensuring the coin’s unique character among the silver bullion issues on the market.
Obverse features the portrait of His Majesty King Charles III, sculpted by the esteemed medallist Martin Jennings. True to classic minting tradition, the monarch’s effigy is rendered in meticulous detail and a stately bearing, encircled by the inscriptions “CHARLES III D·G REX F·D” and the denomination “2 POUNDS” against a guilloché field that serves both as decoration and a security feature.
Reverse captivates with a dynamic portrayal of Dracula set against the full moon and a Gothic castle, surrounded by swirling bats. Joel Iskowitz masterfully conveys an atmosphere of tension and terror through precise lines and the contrast of polished and matte silver surfaces. The scene exudes theatrical drama, making this coin a memorable piece in any collection of silver bullion.
