Hybrid Animals – Griffin – CIT Coin Invest AG The Mint says about this coin: Second issue, the Griffin, in stunning 2oz silver proof with ultra high smartminting relief. Low mintage will make this mythology series sell out quick!
The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and an eagle’s talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin was also thought of as king of all creatures. Griffins are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions.
