The first coin in The Royal Mint’s new “Legendary Creatures” series is dedicated to the Loch Ness Monster, a mysterious cryptid said to inhabit Scotland’s Loch Ness lake.<\/p>\n
The first mentions of this unusual creature date back to the sixth century, but the legend gained worldwide fame in 1934 after the publication of the “surgeon’s photograph.” The myth’s popularity stems from an air of mystery, Scotland’s picturesque natural beauty, and people’s fascination with the unknown. The story of “Nessie” has become a symbol of the region and continues to attract tourists from around the world. <\/p>\n
The coin’s reverse depicts the terrifying Loch Ness Monster rising from the water, with a rapidly receding boat and a picturesque landscape in the background. The obverse features a portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. <\/p>\n
