The Cook Islands 2 Dollars 2007 silver coin from the “Great Motorcycles of the 30’s” series is dedicated to the legendary 1938 IZH 8 motorbike — a symbol of early Soviet-era engineering and mechanical ambition. Struck in fine silver and graded PCGS PL69, this prooflike issue captures the spirit of classic transport history in exceptional detail.

The reverse features a finely colored depiction of the 1938 IZH 8 motorcycle, shown in full side profile with spoked wheels, headlamp, fuel tank, engine block, exhaust pipe and rear mudguard clearly visible. Above, the inscription “GREAT MOTORCYCLES of the 30’s” arcs along the rim, while the date “1938 IZH 8” appears below. A red IZH emblem stands out at the bottom, framed by a decorative circular border resembling a tire tread pattern.

The obverse presents the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown and earrings, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “TWO DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the year “2007,” with a beaded rim encircling the design.

The IZH 8, produced in the late 1930s, became one of the notable early motorcycles manufactured in the Soviet Union, contributing to the development of domestic transport and mechanical industry. This coin blends numismatic artistry with vintage motorcycle heritage, making it highly appealing to collectors of transport, technology and historical themes.

Certified by PCGS in Prooflike 69 condition, it offers near-perfect surfaces and sharp details. A rare and visually striking piece for any serious collection.
