Cook Islands 1 dollar Zodiac Series Cancer Crab colored proof silver coin 2014

The Cook Islands 1 Dollar “Zodiac Series – Cancer” colored proof silver coin, issued in 2014, is a beautifully crafted rectangular collectible celebrating the Cancer zodiac sign, symbolized by the crab. Cancer is traditionally associated with intuition, protection, emotional depth, and a strong connection to home and nature, making this coin especially meaningful within astrological and symbolic collections.

The reverse showcases a vividly colored crab emerging above calm blue water, rendered with impressive realism and depth. The crab’s shell, claws, and segmented legs are finely detailed, with subtle green and brown tones enhancing its natural appearance. Beneath the crab, water lilies with white petals and yellow centers float on the surface, accompanied by green leaves and a hint of aquatic vegetation. Decorative floral ornaments frame the upper corners, while the word “CANCER” is prominently engraved at the top. The mirror-like silver background contrasts beautifully with the frosted engravings and color application, creating a refined and elegant composition.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions “ONE DOLLAR,” “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the year “2014.” Below the portrait, an ornate floral motif spreads across the lower field, adding balance and sophistication to the design.

Struck in fine silver with proof quality, this coin belongs to the popular Zodiac Series. Its artistic detail, symbolic theme, and distinctive rectangular format make it a standout piece for collectors of astrology, zodiac signs, and modern world silver coinage.
