Literary figures of horror are portrayed on a new set of silver coins available from the Royal Canadian Mint. The 2016 Coins from the Crypt Sterling 4-Coin Set includes unique colored coins each in .925 fine silver.
Coins of the collection showcase the characters of the Werewolf, the Mummy, the Grim Reaper, and the Headless Horseman.
Adding to its unique nature, the set’s display case is solid wood, coffin-shaped, and emits a creaking sound followed by a horrific scream when its lid opens.

Plenty of time for next Halloween.

Please US Mint, do not go down this route.
