To honor one of the most unique and mysterious locations in the world, a coin has been designed by the creator of Hidden Ohio Map & Guide. Jeff Craig has been visiting Serpent Mound for over 25 years. Serpent Mound has been included on the original, and subsequent editions of Hidden Ohio Map & Guide, as one of the amazing Ancient American earthworks to visit in Ohio. It is a Natural Historic Landmark as designated by the U.S. Dept. of the Interior. It is also a candidate for inclusion as a World Heritage Site.
The front of the coin features the unique effigy shape and pays homage to the illustrations of Squiers and Davis from their 1846 survey. The observant collector will see several pictographs added around the edge of the coin symbolizing the culture associated with the mound and its builders. The back of the coin is a very special illustration that maps the entire Serpent Mound Crater, or crypto-explosion zone. Within this crater lies the serpent as well as several natural features, small settlements and the Ohio Brush Creek.

This collectible coin, cast in antique copper for a traditional look, has been designed especially for the people who find Serpent Mound to be a special place. Only 500 coins are available. Each coin comes individually wrapped in a clear PVC pouch with a hand written number like "4/500". The diameter of the coin is 2.0", larger than many collectible coins so that the detail can be seen in each illustration. Displaying the coin on a shelf or carrying it as a keepsake or charm are both great options. This coin is in no way affiliated with the Ohio Historical Society which currently maintains the park, or the Highlands Nature Sanctuary, which manages the daily operation of the site.
THIS COIN IS SOLD OUT. There may be a few new coins still available at the Serpent Mound Gift Shop near Peebles, Ohio at the Serpent Mound State Historic Site. Anyone else offering this product is a second-hand seller and may not represent the correct numbering of the coins as a collectible item.
