The
Almas is a „bigfoot-like“ creature, a crossing between a human and an ape, who is supposed to be domiciled in
Mongolia. It is said that the
Almas are able to reach a height of about two meters and have eye-catching long arms. The lore says that the
Almas are very shy, nocturnal and are very fast. These are the reasons why they are very rarely sighted.
One of the first reports on the sighting of this creature originates from the year 1420. It was a German who rerecorded his observations during a Mongolian journey. The indigenous people referred to the
Almas as “wild men”. As from then many cryptozoologists have searched for
Almas but other than a few footprints and fur tufts have not yet found any proof of the existence of this shy creature.
Till this day the
Almas are mystical beings. Do they really exist or is the „ape man“ a speculation in the human mind for those who believe in them?
We have sighted him on our coin. The
Almas coin presents a special feature. It has lenticular images, which artfully produce the effect of an animation. With a glance through the binocular and a horizontal fluctuation of the coin one can discover an
Almas. Can YOU also see him?
