2 oz Silver Kraken Privateer Ultra High Relief Silver Round By Elemetal Capital. Each Elemetal Privateer Round consists of two ounces of .999 fine silver, and is manufactured in an IRA approved facility (ISO9001) ensuring the metal purity and production quality. The obverse of the ultra high relief 2 oz Privateer Silver Round carries the inscription 'NO PREY NO PAY', which is a piratical term meaning that unless a raid was successful at acquiring valuable commodities, the privateers would not receive a commission. The obverse of the Elemetal Privateer Round also features a skull over a ship's wheel, reminiscent of the Jolly Roger, and the inscription "2 OZ FINE SILVER .999". The reverse of this 2 oz silver round features a weather-worn pirate ship on turbulent seas being engulfed by the dreaded kraken. The foreground of this round features one of the kraken’s tentacle rising from the waters, ready to pull the ship to the depths of the sea. Three more tentacles are shown surrounding the ship. The kraken is a giant legendary sea monster that inhabited the northern Atlantic Ocean. “Kraken” is a variant of the Norwegian word “krake”, which describes an unhealthy or twisted animal. The kraken features prominently in nautical lore, and has featured prominently in popular works of fiction, such as Lord Tennyson’s sonnet “The Kraken”, Herman Melville’s “Moby Dick”, and Jules Vern’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”. Individual rounds ship in poly bags, and quantities of 10 or more ship in plastic tubes.
