For centuries, mariners have reported strange sightings of a massive, shipwrecking sea monster—The Kraken. The beast was said to be so big it could be mistaken for an island, with tentacles powerful enough to tear a ship in two. This awe-inspiring creature now glowers fiercely from the face of a bullion coin produced by the Royal Canadian Mint: the first in a new Creatures of the North series celebrating the fantastic and mysterious creatures of Canada’s seas, lands and skies.

This coin is composed of 99.99% fine silver, and retains a face-value of $10. The reverse of the coin features the large shipwrecking sea monster—The Kraken destroying a ship with its powerful grip. The level of detail in the engraving of this coin is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Royal Canadian Mint; the obverse displays the effigy of her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. Also featured above the effigy, is the year of issue, her title, and the $10 denominational value. Once again radial lines feature throughout the obverses field. With a 38 mm diameter, this unusually thick coin is a pleasure to hold, lending a feeling of quality and substance. This item can be purchased on its own, in tubes of 14 coins, or in sealed 'monster' boxes of 280 coins.
