We design and report an electrical circuit using a Josephson junction under periodic forcing that reveals extreme multistability. Its overall state equations surprisingly recall those of a well-known model of Josephson junction initially introduced in our circuit. The final circuit is characterized by the presence of two new and different current sources in parallel with the nonlinear internal current source $\text{sin}\left[\varphi \right(t\left)\right]$ of the Josephson junction single electronic component. Furthermore, the model presents an interesting extreme multistability which is justified by a very large number of different attractors (chaotic or not) when slightly changing the initial conditions.
