Unicorns have been written about and fascinated over for thousands of years of human history. The first appearance of unicorns in any written or visual record comes from the Indus Valley Civilization on the Indian subcontinent, one of the three cradles of civilization in the ancient world.

Many modern inhabitants of the Western world associate the unicorn with Greek mythology and European folklore, however, to the Greeks the unicorn was anything but a myth. In fact, if you research Greek mythology you will find no mention of the unicorn as a mythological beast. That is because Greek natural history writers were the ones recording the existence of the unicorn as they believed the beast to be reality and knew it to live in India, a distant and spectacular corner of the world to the Greeks.

On the obverse of the 1 oz Intaglio Mint The Unicorn Silver Round is the image of a strong, imposing unicorn standing on its hind legs with a rugged mountain visible in the background. The lone engraving reads “The Unicorn.” Unicorns were typically depicted as horse-like creatures with a single horn that was long and twisted on the top of its head. In some European folklore accounts, the Unicorn was depicted as a goat-like creature instead with some tales even saying the Unicorn had a beard.

The reverse of all Intaglio Mint The Unicorn Silver Rounds is the mint logo and identifying information for the round. The Intaglio Mint’s logo is easily recognizable and takes the shape of a Romanesque column in the form of the letter “I.” A beaded field right around the logo includes the name of the mint and there is a wide sunburst radial encompassing much of the remaining background field. The design edge includes the weight, purity, and metal content of the round.
