Cook Islands set 5 coins 50th Anniversary Miffy colored proof silver 2005

The 2005 Cook Islands $50 silver proof set “Miffy 50th Anniversary” celebrates half a century of the beloved children’s character created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna. Issued to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Miffy’s first appearance in 1955, this charming five-coin collection combines numismatic craftsmanship with iconic minimalist design.

Each reverse features a colored depiction of Miffy in her simple, instantly recognizable style: standing in a red dress (1955), wearing yellow (1988), dressed in red (1963), holding a red book (2003), and another early red-dress pose. The inscription “miffy 50th anniversary” arcs above each figure, with the corresponding year beneath and denomination “¢50.” The clean black proof background enhances the bright red, yellow, and white color accents, while the small copyright mark “© Mercis bv” appears near the rim.

The obverse of every coin presents the crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “2005,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “1/2 OZ .999 SILVER.” Struck in fine .999 silver with proof finish, the set features mirror-like fields and frosted relief.

A delightful and nostalgic collectible honoring one of the world’s most famous children’s characters—perfect for fans of illustration art, anniversary issues, and modern colorized silver coins.
