Cook Islands 1 dollar Gemstone Zodiac Signs series Scorpio gilded Ag coin 2003

The Cook Islands 1 Dollar Scorpio coin from the Gemstone Zodiac Signs series, issued in 2003, is a bold and expressive modern numismatic piece dedicated to one of the most powerful and mysterious zodiac signs. Struck for the Cook Islands with a face value of one dollar, this gilded silver coin unites astrological symbolism with an eye-catching gemstone element, making it a desirable collectible for zodiac and thematic coin enthusiasts.

The reverse is devoted to Scorpio and features a detailed scorpion rendered in high relief, its segmented body, curved tail, and raised stinger clearly defined and full of tension. The scorpion is shown in a dynamic pose, symbolizing intensity, resilience, and inner strength. Near the design appears the Scorpio zodiac glyph, subtly reinforcing the astrological theme. At the center of the coin is a transparent circular capsule containing small natural gemstone beads, adding depth, movement, and a tactile accent to the composition. Soft flowing lines in the background enhance the dramatic character of the scene.

The obverse displays the crowned right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “ONE DOLLAR.” A dotted border and a finely textured geometric pattern in the central field complement the smooth gilded surfaces and emphasize the prooflike quality.

Scorpio, ruled by Pluto, represents transformation, passion, and determination. Issued in 2003 as part of the Gemstone Zodiac Signs series, this gilded silver coin is a striking addition to any astrology or modern world coin collection.
