While many know the Kraken from movies, bottles of rum, and a famous Alfred Lord Tennyson poem, this creature actually has its origin in ancient Nordic myths. In these tales, the Kraken is said to be so large that sailors often mistook it for an island. Initial accounts described the Kraken as resembling a giant crab, but by the 19th century, it became more defined as having octopus or squid-like features. Regardless of how it’s depicted, since its origin, no sea creature has caused more intimidation and fear. For any ship setting sail between Norway and Greenland, the message was loud and clear. Beware the Kraken!
2021 2 oz Silver Antique Colorized Niue Kraken Coins depict the public seal of Niue on the reverse.

Besides the Kraken, we also get a look at the Labyrinth of the Minotaur, Sirens, and the Harpy’s Nest.
The Kraken is shown on the reverse side of 2021 2 oz Silver Niue Mythical Creatures Kraken Coins. This fearsome monster is depicted wrapping its giant arms around a ship.

At the bottom of the coin are the words The Kraken.
