Goblin Hobo Nickel Coin – Gothic Fantasy Collectible

This goblin hobo nickel coin is one of the most characterful pieces in the dark fantasy coin genre. The obverse replaces the classic Morgan dollar portrait with a grinning goblin — horned, scaled, wide-eyed, and clawed, one arm raised as if caught mid-mischief, its serpentine tail curling behind it. The deeply carved antique silver relief captures every scale, every claw, and the creature’s unmistakable expression of chaotic glee. E Pluribus Unum arcs across the top in classic Morgan dollar style, with the date 1921 at the base — grounding this fantastical creature in the heritage of American folk coin art. The reverse carries the traditional Morgan dollar eagle, with United States of America, In God We Trust, and One Dollar inscriptions.

This piece is a Gothic fantasy hobo collectible coin designed for display and collection.

About the Design

The hobo nickel tradition began in the early 20th century when travelling craftsmen carved intricate scenes into Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars, replacing the original portraits with characters from their imagination. Today’s hobo nickel revival pushes that tradition into fantasy and dark art territory — and this goblin design is a standout example. Goblins have appeared in folklore across Europe and Asia for centuries — mischievous, cunning, and impossible to ignore. This coin captures that energy perfectly, giving the goblin the same numismatic gravitas as Lady Liberty herself.
