Zodiac Killer: A Haunting Legacy
The Zodiac Killer, one of America's most infamous and elusive criminals, terrorized Northern California during the late 1960s. Known for his cryptic letters and brutal murders, the Zodiac Killer remains an unsolved mystery that continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts.
This coin’s reverse vividly portrays the Zodiac Killer in his signature hood, pointing a pistol directly at the viewer, capturing the fear that gripped California during his reign of terror. The eerie backdrop of San Francisco, where many of his crimes took place, is depicted along with his infamous cipher codes, surrounded by dripping blood and clippings from real newspaper articles that chronicled his brutal acts. The obverse features an authentic newspaper front page with the original police sketch of the Zodiac Killer, emphasizing the enduring mystery of his true identity, which remains unknown.
Issued by the Republic of Chad in 2025, this 2 oz legal tender is crafted from .999 fine silver, measuring 45 mm in diameter. The coin features an antiqued ultra-high relief finish with selective coloring and proof/mirrored finish on the sunglasses lens, adding a unique touch to its intricate design.

How is this a coin?
- A coin is defined by its official issuance, not by its physical shape. This piece is formally issued as legal tender by a sovereign issuing authority, with an official denomination and year of issue.
- Money and coinage have also taken unconventional forms throughout history, including ancient Chinese knife- and spade-shaped money. Spectres continues that idea in modern legal tender, where a coin may be round, shaped, functional, sculptural or fully three-dimensional.
