Description
This is the 1 Troy OZ .999 Silver “The Unicorn” Round by Intaglio Mint. I have used my “Custom Antique Finish System” in addition, I have used a selective 24K gold electroplating on the Unicorn & on The Intaglio Mint Logo. I have inserted this round in a new capsule with black ringThe unicorn is a legendary creature that has been written about and referenced as far back as 8 BC. A horse-like beast with a single horn projecting from its forehead.
In European folklore, the Unicorn was often described as a horse or goat-like creature, with a single long twisted horn, cloven hooves and sometimes with a beard. It was often described as the symbol of purity and grace and could only be caught by a virgin. Its horn was said to have magical powers with the ability to make poison or non-potable water safe for drinking.
Contains: 1 oz. Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver
Obverse: The detailed and high-relief depiction of the Unicorn in a remote mountain pasture rearing back on his back legs.
Reverse: Intaglio Mint logo set on radial burst surrounded by stippled border reading “ONE TROY OUNCE” above and “.999 FINE SILVER” below on textured background, flanked by 4 bullet points on each side.
Regarding
CERTIFICATES OF AUTHENTICITY
:
Per one of my very kind repeat buyer’s request and recommendation, I have been including a document that certifies that the antique finish on each one of my silver coins or silver rounds listed, has been applied and burnished by me personally. I will sign and date one certificate for each coin or round sold. Although this process is not “rocket science” each person has their own methods and techniques that differentiate themselves from others. Whether mine is better is totally subjective. I have shown this certificate in my last photos. (Note that these may change or improve in the future) This has been updated again as of October 9
th
, 2020 to include the “Simply Fine Silver” logo on the upper left corner and an overall new design by Alberto Mendoza who also created the SFS logo and who specializes in 3 D designs. Thus far my buyers want this document, therefore I will continue to include it.
Note About my “
Custom Antique Finish System”.
This is a chemical process that darkens the silver and then I expose the higher relief areas as I see fit. This is not a layer of something applied to the silver. His is identical to the systems used by the major bullion dealers on all their coins and rounds. The method and degree of burnishing is what sets me apart from others in my opinion.
