The Kraken 2023 $5 2oz Silver Proof Coin | Downies Collectables

Downies says about this coin:

Introducing the 2023 $5 The Kraken 2oz Silver Proof Coin, the perfect addition to your collection of mythical creatures and underwater horrors! Boasting a spectacular full-colour design, stand-out nautical obverse, high quality silver content and enviable rarity. This Niue legal tender coin is everything it’s krak-ed up to be!
The Kraken is a legendary sea monster, originating in Nordic mythology, resembling a giant octopus capable of destroying entire ships. The reverse of the large 55mm flan features an extreme close up of a terrifying Kraken in an intricate, high relief design – complete with fierce expression, powerful waves and a multitude of tentacles ready to grab the unsuspecting sailor. But don’t worry, this monster has been safely captured and sealed within the confines of 2oz of glimmering 99.9% PURE SILVER, so you can admire its awesome detail without being dragged to the depths. The dynamism of the design is enhanced by state-of-the-art colour application on the churning sea, deepening the feeling of movement and ferocity.
The obverse is just as special! The official Public Seal of Niue is encircled by a decorative nautical-themed boarder, populated by classically rendered sirens and mythical sea monsters - all struck to splendid Proof quality! A MUST-HAVE for any numismatic collector, or purveyor of sea-faring history, beautifully presented in a box with numbered Certificate of Authenticity. But be warned, this limited-edition coin, restricted to only 750 worldwide, won’t stay above water very long. Capture the silver Kraken and add a touch of terror to you collection. ‘Seas’ the day – buy now!
