For his 7th labor, Hercules was sent to capture the powerful creature. The bull had been causing chaos for croppers and was demolishing orchard walls in Crete, so King Minos gave permission for Hercules to remove the monster from the area.

Sneaking up from behind, Hercules gripped the animal by its neck and strangled the bull until it was unconscious. He then shipped it back to King Eurystheus, who declared the labor “done”. After hiding in fear upon seeing it, Eurystheus released the bull into the wild. It then wandered into the city of Marathon and became the Marathonian Bull. 

The hulking Cretan Bull is featured on the reverse of this 1 oz copper round. It faces right and stands proud with its head raised, chest out and muscles on display. “VII” and “CRETAN BULL” are engraved above the bull. The roman numbers represent the seventh labor of Hercules.
 
A stoic portrait of Hercules, which can be viewed on each round in the 12 Labors of Hercules Series, shows the hero with his head slightly bowed. He wears the Nemean Lion’s impenetrable skin on his head as armor, and holds his wooden club in his right hand. The copper round’s weight and metal purity are inscribed.
