Cook Islands 2 $ Cygnus Sapphire Swan Bird Fauna MS69 PCGS silver coin 2016

The Cook Islands 2 Dollars Cygnus Cygnus silver coin, issued in 2016, is a refined numismatic tribute to one of the most elegant birds in nature — the swan. Struck for the Cook Islands and denominated at 2 dollars, this coin belongs to a fauna and wildlife theme, combining artistic minimalism with symbolic depth. The graceful swan has long represented purity, harmony, loyalty, and serenity, making this issue especially appealing to collectors of animal and nature-inspired coins.

The reverse features a large flying swan rendered as a smooth matte silhouette with wide, outstretched wings. Beneath the bird lies a vivid blue sapphire-like insert shaped as a flowing water element, evoking a river or lake surface. The background contrasts frosted and polished textures, while the inscription “CYGNUS CYGNUS” arches along the upper rim, accompanied by the fineness mark “FI 100” and a small map outline of the Cook Islands.

The obverse displays a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” the year 2016, and the denomination “2 DOLLARS.” A second swan silhouette mirrors the reverse design, reinforcing the thematic unity of the coin.

Struck in high-quality silver and certified by PCGS with an impressive MS69 grade, this coin offers outstanding preservation, sharp details, and strong visual appeal. Its certified status and distinctive wildlife design make it a desirable addition to any modern world coin collection.
