OFFICIAL RELEASE END OF JUNE 2024

Stories of colossal monsters, abyssal chasms and gigantic sea creatures have given rise to legends of the mysteries of the ocean. For some, this field is not mere science fiction but a disturbing reality. Thalassophobia, an intense fear of vast expanses of water, shatters dreams of life by the sea, pleasant visits to the beach and pleasant boat rides.

Consider the creepy allure of cinematic marine horrors—the iconic “Jaws” franchise, “Deep Blue Sea” and “Open Water,” all examples of the sea’s frightening hold on our imagination. The coin depicts a giant shark rising from the ocean depths, unnoticed by the comfortable swimmer drifting by. Through an ingenious combination of inverted ultra-high relief, color and enamel, the scene appears deceptively real.
