The Alicanto is a fascinating creature from Chilean folklore, deeply rooted in the mining culture of the Atacama Desert. This mythical bird is said to inhabit the rocky mountain regions, possessing an extraordinary and magical characteristic: its feathers are believed to shimmer with metallic colors of gold and silver, reflecting the precious metals of the surrounding landscape. Today, 2024 2 oz Antique Colorized Tuvalu Silver Alicanto Coins are available from JM Bullion.

On the obverse of the 2024 Antique Colorized Tuvalu Silver Alicanto Coin, you will find the dome at the center and a bust of His Majesty King Charles III along the top rim of the design field. His Majesty’s portrait is a left-profile relief as designed by Jody Clark.

The legends surrounding the Alicanto tell of its dual nature as both a blessing and a potential danger to miners. Some stories suggest that if a weary miner follows the bird’s glowing feathers, they might be led to rich mineral deposits, potentially discovering great wealth.
