This Two Ounce Kraken Silver Coin is the first release of the brand new “Creatures of the North” coin series from the Royal Canadian Mint. The series is set to have two releases every year starting in 2020.
There have been reports of the Kraken around Canada since as early as the 1700s. In 1871, a fifty-six-foot-long giant squid washed up on the beaches of Northeast Newfoundland, giving some credence to the legend of the Kraken. The Kraken lives on in many ways through stories, movies, and other forms such as silver coins. This coin’s design does an excellent job of capturing the destructive power of the Kraken in all its glory.
