Cook Islands 20 dollars Gustav Klimt Art Adele Bloch Bauer PF69 NGC Ag coin 2012

The Cook Islands 20 Dollars 2012 silver coin from the elegant “Masterpieces of Art” series is dedicated to Gustav Klimt’s world-renowned Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I. This celebrated work from Klimt’s Golden Phase embodies the brilliance of the Vienna Secession and the ornamental richness of early 20th-century Art Nouveau.

The reverse features a finely detailed colored reproduction of the portrait: Adele Bloch-Bauer stands frontally, her delicate pale face framed by dark hair, emerging from a radiant composition of gold leaf-inspired textures, geometric shapes, spirals, rectangles, and intricate mosaic-like patterns. Her richly decorated gown blends into the luminous golden background, creating a shimmering, almost sacred atmosphere. The miniature artwork is bordered by architectural motifs with arched windows and classical columns. Along the rim appear the inscriptions “MASTERPIECES OF ART,” “GUSTAV KLIMT,” and the year “2012.”

The obverse displays the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “20 DOLLARS.” Struck in fine silver in Proof quality and certified PF69 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this coin offers outstanding contrast and surface quality. A refined highlight for collectors of Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and museum-inspired silver coins.
