Obverse

On the obverse of the 1 oz Silver Intaglio Mint The Kraken Rounds is the image of the large mythical squid attacking a ship by wrapping its long, powerful tentacles the vessel. If you look closely, youll see a group of sailors trying to escape the Kraken on a raft. This image was inspired by an 1810 design by Pierre Denys de Montfort, which depicts the Krakens attack in a similar manner.

Reverse

The reverse of these rounds features the Intaglio Mint logo in the center of the design field. The logo depicts the I in a Romanesque column. Youll also find the refinerys name and the rounds weight, purity, and metal content on the reverse.

History

The first accounts of the Kraken were from North Atlantic sailors in the 13^th century. The giant squid species was believed to roam the waters attacking merchant ships. Individuals from Greenland, Norway, and Iceland recount tales of the sea monster encompassing ships and killing the crew. Although the size of the Kraken has been debated, some accounts describe it as being up to 40 to 50 feet in length.
