The Kraken launches full-color chaos across 5 troy ounces of .999 fine copper, bringing the legendary sea monster of Norse sailors’ tales to the Mythical Creatures series. The oversized format gives the artwork room to breathe, and colorization over deep-struck relief creates a piece that reads like a miniature painting with the heft of a paperweight.
Key Features:
- Purity and Weight: 5 troy ounces of .999 fine copper
- Metal and Finish: Pure copper with full-color artwork over high-relief detail

- Reverse Design: The series’ common design of a dragon, unicorn, and bigfoot in a pine forest
The obverse plunges into the middle of a shipwreck in progress. A massive kraken breaks the surface, its head and mantle rendered in deep reds and purples with iridescent blue highlights along the suckers, seawater dripping from every curled tentacle. One arm coils toward a battered wooden galleon listing in the swells behind it, sails torn and hull already splintered by cannon-sized punctures. Overhead, forked lightning splits a churning storm sky, and whitecaps froth around the monster’s arms. The colorization carries fine gradients across the beast’s skin while the storm clouds and ship keep their sculpted metal texture underneath.
The reverse unites the series under one uncolored, high-relief scene. A winged dragon perches on the pines at the left, a unicorn steps through the center of the forest, and a bigfoot peers out from between the trunks at the right, all framed by towering evergreens. MYTHICAL CREATURES arcs across the top rim, with 999 FINE COPPER • 5 TROY OUNCES completing the border below.
Five-ounce copper rounds offer sculptural depth that one-ounce pieces cannot match, and the legend-themed series has become a favorite among collectors who chase complete sets. Copper keeps each addition affordable even at this size.
Bold artwork, serious heft, and a monster with centuries of maritime lore behind it make The Kraken an easy round to display. Order this 5 oz colorized copper Kraken today.
