One of the most feared seamonsters believed to inhabit seas around the world is the Kraken. The Kraken emerged from the rich tapestry of Nordic maritime folklore, primarily originating in Norwegian seafaring legends dating back to the 12th century. Described as an enormous, tentacled sea creature capable of dragging entire ships into the ocean’s depths, the Kraken represented sailors’ deepest maritime fears. Now, 2025 3 oz Antique Cook Islands Silver Underwater Fantasy Sea Monster Coins are available online from JM Bullion.

On the obverse of 2025 3 oz Antique Silver Underwater Fantasy Sea Monster Coins, you’ll find a depiction of King Charles III. His Majesty is shown here in left-profile relief and is depicted without a crown. His bust is shown against a background of seashells.

The reverse side of 2025 Antique Cook Islands Silver Underwater Fantasy Sea Monster Coins comes with a stirring depiction of a sea monster attacking sailing vessels. The dynamic of the design shows an above-water/underwater contrast. The sailing ships only see the emerging tentacles of the beast as they engulf one of the ships, while beneath the water, the mass of the beast is more visible.

Pirates and sailors across the North Atlantic perpetuated these terrifying legends, using the Kraken as an explanation for unexplained maritime disasters and mysterious ship disappearances. While modern marine biology has demystified many aspects of these legends, connecting them to potential giant squid sightings, the Kraken remained a powerful metaphor for the ocean’s unpredictability and danger. 

These 2025 3 oz Antique Cook Islands Silver Underwater Fantasy Sea Monster Coins are packaged in presentation window boxes. Each coin comes with a beautiful relief on the reverse design elements, as well as colorized enamel that brings the sea monster scene to life.
