A captivating piece that combines oceanic symbolism, gothic aesthetics, and traditional commemorative coin artistry into one striking collectible.

The octopus has fascinated humans for centuries as one of the ocean's most intelligent and mysterious creatures. In various cultures, the octopus symbolizes flexibility, intelligence, mystery, and the ability to adapt and transform. Its eight tentacles suggest completeness and infinity, while its ability to change color and shape makes it a symbol of transformation and illusion. In Victorian and gothic art, the octopus often represented the unknown depths of the ocean and the mysteries that lie beneath the surface. This coin celebrates that symbolism through detailed carving that captures the octopus's flowing tentacles in motion. The ornate scrollwork and clouds surrounding the creature add baroque elegance, creating a fusion of natural form and decorative art. The 1921 date connects to the final year of Morgan Dollar production. The reverse features the traditional Morgan Dollar eagle design, creating a double-sided collectible. This piece is a Gothic marine collectible coin designed for display and collection.
