Cook Islands 1 dollar Gemstone Zodiac Signs series Libra gilded silver coin 2003

The Cook Islands 1 Dollar Libra coin from the Gemstone Zodiac Signs series, issued in 2003, is an elegant modern collectible that celebrates astrological symbolism through refined design and precious materials. Struck for the Cook Islands with a face value of one dollar, this gilded silver coin is dedicated to Libra — the zodiac sign associated with balance, harmony, justice, and aesthetic sensitivity.

The reverse presents an artistic interpretation of Libra. At the center is a transparent circular capsule containing small natural gemstone beads, creating a dynamic focal point that adds depth and movement. Surrounding the capsule are stylized balance scales, the classic emblem of Libra, integrated into a flowing composition of curved shapes, spiral ornaments, and segmented geometric planes. The Libra zodiac glyph is placed near the lower right, subtly completing the astrological theme while maintaining visual harmony.

The obverse depicts the crowned right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Around the rim are the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “ONE DOLLAR,” framed by a dotted border. The central field features a textured geometric pattern that contrasts beautifully with the smooth gilded surfaces, emphasizing the coin’s prooflike finish.

Libra, ruled by Venus, symbolizes diplomacy, equilibrium, and refined taste — qualities reflected in this coin’s balanced composition and elegant detailing. Issued in 2003 as part of the Gemstone Zodiac Signs program, this gilded silver coin is an excellent choice for collectors of astrology, gemstone-enhanced coins, and modern world numismatics.
