Mothman TNT Area Encounter Coin – Point Pleasant, Nov 15, 1966

Late on the night of November 15, 1966, two young couples driving near the old TNT area outside Point Pleasant, West Virginia, reported a winged figure with glowing red eyes in their headlights. That night started one of America's most famous cryptid legends.

This coin captures that moment.

Obverse: Headlights shine up from the bottom edge, and Mothman rises into the beams from between the concrete igloo bunkers. The light rays are raised, tapering bands that catch the light as you turn the coin.

Reverse: A vintage-style map fragment of the TNT area, marked with a small "X" and the date NOV 15, 1966.

It makes a great gift for:

• Mothman fans and anyone who's made the trip to Point Pleasant
• Cryptid, paranormal, and folklore collectors
• Challenge coin and token collectors
• Anyone who wants to carry a piece of the legend in their pocket

Care

Brass develops a warm patina over time, which many collectors think adds to the character. To keep it bright, polish it now and then with a brass cleaner and a soft cloth. To let it age, just wipe it with a dry cloth.
