| Reverse description | A fearsome serpentine sea monster, depicted with an open fanged maw, scaly body, and dragon-like wings, coils its massive form around a sailing tall ship in turbulent waters, rendered in highly detailed relief. The creature dominates the central field, its body encircling the stricken vessel whose masts and rigging are visible beneath the beast. Along the upper rim, the series title LEGENDS & MYTHS is inscribed in an archaic runic-style typeface, while SEA MONSTER arcs along the lower rim in the same decorative lettering. A small mint mark or privy mark appears at the top of the coin above the legend. The overall composition conveys dramatic maritime peril in the tradition of historical cartographic sea monster illustrations. |
