2021 Mongolia 1-oz Silver Woodland Spirits Hedgehog High Relief Colorized Gem Proof

The Clever Hedgehog Joins the Woodland Spirits Series

Perhaps the world’s most famous hedgehog is a dizzyingly fast speedster named Sonic who races around the planet battling injustice. Created by Sega Corporation, Sonic made his debut in 1991 when the first Sonic game was released for the Sega Genesis game console. While Sonic is a completely made-up character, his sly and crafty nature has roots in Mongolian folktales. In one famous tale a hedgehog outsmarts a fox and a wolf for the right to eat a plum that fell from a passing caravan. Mongolians also believe that these clever little creatures help ward off bad things like evil spirits and snakes. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that the latest coin in Mongolia’s Woodland Spirts series showcases an extraordinarily adorable hedgehog.

An Intricately Designed Wide-Eyed Hedgehog

Interest in Mongolia’s Woodland Spirits series skyrocketed after it debuted in Berlin at the 2018 World Money Fair. And now for 2021, the wide-eyed Hedgehog becomes the fourth release in the series. This superb coin displays a beautiful, high-relief design of a Hedgehog poking its head out from a colorized nest of autumn plants. The detail is incredibly intricate thanks to CIT’s smartminting® technology. This coin is official Mongolian legal tender and was struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. It also comes in gorgeous Gem Proof condition, meaning it was expertly crafted by the mint from hand-selected planchets, polished dies and multiple strikes to produce beautifully frosted details rising over mirror-like fields!
