Cook Island 20 dollars Christ's Death Art crystals gilded proof silver 2018

The Cook Islands 20 Dollars 2018 Proof silver coin is an impressive issue from the Masterpieces of Art series, dedicated to the theme of Christ’s Death as depicted in classical European painting. Combining sacred art, refined craftsmanship, and modern decorative techniques, this coin stands out as a powerful religious and artistic collectible.

The reverse features a detailed color reproduction of a Crucifixion scene inspired by the works of Giandomenico Tiepolo. At the center is Christ on the cross, his body illuminated against a dramatic sky, with figures gathered below expressing sorrow, devotion, and grief. The composition conveys deep emotional intensity through gestures, posture, and contrasting light. The painted artwork is framed by architectural elements resembling classical columns, while rows of rectangular crystal inserts in warm amber tones run vertically along both sides, enhancing the visual depth and symbolic richness. Above the scene is the inscription “Masterpieces of Art,” while below appear the artist’s name and the year “2018.” Subtle gilded accents add elegance and highlight key design elements.

The obverse displays a right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, finely engraved with detailed hair, crown, and facial features. The surrounding inscriptions read “Elizabeth II,” “Cook Islands,” and the denomination “20 Dollars,” set against mirrored Proof fields.

Struck in Proof-quality silver with artistic gilding and crystal decoration, this 2018 Christ’s Death coin is a meaningful addition for collectors of religious art, Christian themes, and modern world numismatics.
