Cook Islands Solomon Islands Niue set of 3 coins Marine Life Fauna Ag coins 2000

The 2000 Cook Islands, Solomon Islands and Niue $5 silver coin set “Marine Life Protection” is a vibrant tribute to ocean fauna and the importance of preserving fragile coral reef ecosystems. This colorful three-coin collection unites Pacific island nations under a shared environmental theme, celebrating the beauty and diversity of marine life.

Each reverse features a richly detailed underwater scene framed by a beaded border and the inscription “MARINE LIFE PROTECTION.” One coin depicts a bright red reef fish with white stripes swimming above pink coral branches and rounded blue coral formations. Another shows two yellow-and-black butterflyfish gliding among green sea plants, red coral and spotted reef structures beneath stylized white waves. The third presents three angelfish in shades of blue and yellow near rocky coral heads and sandy seabed textures. The denomination “$5” appears below each marine composition. The obverses display the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” the issuing country name (Cook Islands, Solomon Islands, Niue), and the year 2000 or 2001.

Struck in silver with proof finish and vivid color application, this fauna-themed set combines mirror-like fields with detailed relief. A striking collectible for enthusiasts of wildlife, ocean conservation, tropical fish, and Pacific numismatics.
