2024 Niue Silver Mystical Creatures: The Sea Serpent

I randomly picked the 2025 The Siren from my box of silver to show you last week, not realizing that I had not yet presented the previous year-2024 first release of the Mythical Creatures series. So here it is!

2024 Niue Silver Mystical Creatures:
The Sea Serpent

A sea serpent is a mythical creature that traditionally looks like a gigantic snake and is believed to dwell in the deep seas, as known throughout the ancient world.

Coin Highlights:
Contains 1 oz of .999 fine silver.
Mintage of 5,000 coins.
Multiples of 20 come in heat sealed rolls. All other coins will be in protective capsules.
Obverse: Features the Niue coat of arms inside a wheel of a boat surrounded by images of other mythical creatures.
Reverse: Depicts a sea serpent emerging from a body of water.
Sovereign coin backed by the Niue government.

It is a coincidence that Niue picked The Sea Serpent as the first release of this series of Mystical Creatures. The year 2024 is the Lunar year of the fire-breathing dragon, while this mythical being is also a dragon-like creature!

In the Old Testament there are several allusions to a primordial combat between God and a monstrous adversary variously named Leviathan or Rahab. Although the references to Leviathan usually indicate a dragon-like creature, the name has also been used to denote a sea monster in general (see dragon). Analogies to this combat are found throughout the ancient Middle East.



What next... a unicorn? A phoenix? Or fairies? What about a giant, or dwarves? A troll, perhaps?

I wish it were one of these creatures. However, I bet it will be one of the commonly preferred by others—the scary creatures. W h y ?

LOL, that's a rhetorical question 😁!

Very nice coin, but isnt Most of the value paid for the face of the coin? And Not the silver value?

Hello @florian-glechner! How are you? First, I want to express my gratitude for your support! Thank you!
The price of any silver product is comprised of the spot price plus the premium added by sellers. Spot price is generally accepted as the current silver value; the spot price of silver is the price at which silver is bought and sold in the market. It is expressed in terms of ounces, grams, or kilograms.
I hope this answers your question.
Have a wonderful day, my friend!😀

I understand the price per once and the spot price, but depending on the rarity of the coin there is also a different price on the coin or am I wrong?

Yes, you are right! It also depends on the buyer. If... the buyer accepts the price based on the rarity. The final analysis: the selling price depends ultimately on the willingness of the buyer to pay the price.

According to copilot: In Greek mythology, Scylla is a legendary sea monster known for her terrifying presence. She is often depicted as a man-eating creature that resides on one side of a narrow strait, opposite her counterpart, Charybdis, who swallows the sea. Originally, Scylla was said to be a beautiful nymph, but she was transformed into a monster by an envious goddess. Scylla is infamous for terrorizing sailors, devouring those who ventured too close to her lair, and is a prominent figure in the myth of Odysseus, where she plays a crucial role in his perilous journey. Her story symbolizes the dangers of the sea and the dualities of beauty and monstrosity in mythology.

Maybe. I see The Sea Serpent as a male figure, !LOL

Have a great day, @seki1

@silversaver888 ¡Qué maravilla de pieza! 😍 La Serpiente Marina tiene una presencia tan imponente y mística, que verla representada en una moneda de plata la convierte en una joya para coleccionistas. Me encantó cómo describes cada detalle, se nota el amor con el que aprecias cada adquisición. Gracias por enseñarnos no solo sobre monedas, sino sobre criaturas míticas que nos transportan a otros mundos.

¡Tu colección es realmente mágica! 💫

Saludos con cariño,

What next? Going by the pattern on the Obverse; Kraken? Cancer? Mermaid as distinct to the Siren?

Always, with !LUV 🤗🌺❤️

I've seen The Kraken, but in colorized form. So you were right, sis!
Sirens are half-human, half-bird creatures that lure sailors to their death with their sweet songs. Mermaids are half-human, half-fish creatures that are known for their beauty and are largely regarded as friends to humans. So whoever designed the 2025 The Siren coin is confused, !LOL.
!LUV always, sis 🤗🌺❤️
