For as long as ships have sailed the seas, monsters have risen from the depths to strike terror in people’s hearts. One of the most frightening is the Kraken, a massive sea monster with tentacles so large, it can easily destroy an entire vessel and drag it beneath the waves. From the Nordic countries to Greenland, South Africa and New Zealand, the Kraken appears on sea charts and in European lore as early as 1555.
Coin Highlights:
- Contains 2 oz of .9999 fine silver.
- Coin comes in protective packaging.
- Eligible for Precious Metals IRAs.
- Obverse: The effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.
- Reverse: Features an absolutely stunning rendition of the Kraken attacking a ship. The Kraken dwarfs the ship as it tears apart the entire ship with its massive tentacles.
- Guaranteed by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Most of the coins that I received alongside this were pristine, but this one had a very strong bit of tarnish around the edges. Don't think I've seen capsules for any of the 2 oz coins. I would probably suggest sticking to 1 oz numismatics.
- Pros
- Attractive Design
- Collectible (lower mintage)
- Cons
- Poor Condition
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

The artist who forged this design for the die has an eye for beauty, depth, and symmetry. This is not only a coin, it is a work of art. The 2 oz weight provides a "heft" which feels considerable while holding it. This coin is definitely one that you need to have in your collection.

Awesome coin. A few of these reviews mention the dings around the edge, the Krakens I received had this issue as well. I think it is from the tubes they are shipped in from the mint. Other than that this is a really cool coin and I will certainly be purchasing more from this series!

Hands down, this is my favorite silver coin! The design and detail are great. One minor con is that most of the Krakens I have received have very small dings in the rim...probably from the mint? Overall, still my favorite and I look forward to the next minting in the series of Creatures of the North.

Originally I picked this up as a present, the coin had such good eye appeal that I had to buy more, I'm definitely looking forward towards the rest of the series.
