Gold and Silver Bullion Canada is proud to present another amazing coin. The Kraken, the sea monster that has become a character in many books and films, can give many of us the creeps. For years, sailors and travelers have been terrified of this monster, and scientists have been amazed by its squid-like appearance. To this day, there is debate as to whether this is a real sea dweller or a figment of the collective imagination that has traveled through the minds of generations.
 
According to Scandinavian tales, the kraken lives on the coasts of Norway and Greenland and terrorizes local sailors. Krakens, or cephalopods like them, are said to attack ships and kill travelers, and once they have had their stomach filled, they like to play with the bones of their victims. The debate about the gigantic sea monster has been going on for years, with some people believing in the existence of the kraken, others laughing and advising people to stop watching science fiction films. However, many sailors avoid encountering the creature… Maybe not for nothing? What would you do if you came face to face with this monster?
