Obverse Design:
The Mortuga round features a terrifying design of a zombified sea turtle, likely a twist on the mythical tortuga. This once-peaceful marine creature is now shown in a decayed state, with parts of its shell cracked and disintegrating. Its skeletal limbs protrude from its decaying body, and its eyes are hollowed, lending it a menacing, undead appearance. The oceanic backdrop further enhances the eerie feel, making the Mortuga seem like a creature of the deep that has resurfaced after an apocalyptic event. The inscription “Mortuga” is featured prominently on the top, alongside the year 2024 and “Zombucks” branding.
Reverse Design:
The reverse side of the Mortuga Zombucks remains consistent with the other rounds in the Zombucks series, showcasing a biohazard symbol surrounded by inscriptions indicating the round’s weight and purity: “1 oz .999 Fine Silver.” The Zombucks logo and a continuation of the series’ apocalyptic theme are reflected in the overall design, tying it to the rest of the collection.
Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Finish:
Struck in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, the Mortuga Zombucks round features sharp, intricate details, particularly in the cracks of the decayed shell and the skeletal features of the sea turtle. The high-quality finish ensures its appeal both as a display piece and an investment-grade silver round.
Collectibility and Theme:
As with other pieces in the Zombucks series, the Mortuga is a collector’s dream, blending a thrilling design with a high-quality silver investment. The zombified sea turtle is a fresh addition to the series, offering a new take on the post-apocalyptic world, this time from the depths of the ocean. Collectors of the Zombucks series will appreciate the creativity behind this design, while newcomers to the series will find it an exciting introduction.
