Cook Islands 5 dollars 12 Wonders National Reserve Kamyanets silver coin 2009

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars silver coin 2009 from the renowned “12 Wonders” series is dedicated to the National Historical and Architectural Reserve “Kamyanets,” a spectacular medieval fortress complex dramatically set above a rocky canyon. This issue captures the power and grandeur of one of Eastern Europe’s most iconic defensive landmarks.

The reverse presents a richly detailed panorama of the Kamyanets fortress: massive stone walls, fortified buildings, and several tall towers crowned with steep conical roofs and small waving flags. The textured masonry and layered rooftops emphasize the stronghold’s defensive character. In the foreground, a cobblestone bridge with railings leads toward the fortress gate, suspended above stylized rocky cliffs. To the right stands a classic street lantern, while dynamic canyon lines and landscape contours enhance the depth of the composition. The year “2009” is placed below, surrounded by circular Ukrainian inscriptions referencing the National Historical and Architectural Reserve “Kamyanets” and the “12 Wonders of Ukraine.”

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing an ornate royal tiara, framed by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS” and “5 DOLLARS.”

Struck in fine silver with a brilliant proof finish, this 2009 issue offers mirror-like fields and sharp architectural relief. A powerful collectible for admirers of castles, bridges, fortifications, and historic heritage themes.
