In Scandinavian folklore, the kraken is a legendary sea monster of gigantic size, resembling a cephalopod mollusc. According to Scandinavian tales, the kraken lives on the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes local sailors. Krakens, or cephalopods like them, are said to attack ships and kill travelers, and once they have had their stomach filled, they like to play with the bones of their victims. The debate about the gigantic sea monster has been going on for years, with some people believing in the existence of the kraken, others laughing and advising people to stop watching science fiction films. However, many sailors avoid encountering the creature… Maybe not for nothing? What would you do if you came face to face with this monster?
The Mythical Creatures series consists of 4 coins. The obverse of the coin is divided into four sections, which contain all the coins of the
Mythical Creatures series: The Labyrinth of the Minotaur, The Island of the Sirens, The Harpy Nest, and The Sea Monster Kraken. These mythical creatures are often found in Greek mythology. Also a portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
