Caribbean Series
Another great design in this series which has included the seahorse and pelican. The octopus uses its legs, or tentacles, for eating, moving, hunting, tasting and mating. Octopus are also masters of disguise and can alter their skin to take on different colors and textures to blend in with their surroundings. This series of Caribbean gold and silver has become very popular amongst investors and collectors alike and is exclusively available at APMEX.
