Cook Islands 1 dollar British Brexit Leaving the EU colored silver coin 2016

The Cook Islands 1 Dollar “Brexit” coin, issued in 2016, is a powerful and symbolic proof silver commemorative dedicated to one of the most significant political events of the 21st century — the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union. This coin captures a historic moment that reshaped European politics, economics, and international relations, making it a meaningful addition to any modern world coin collection.

The reverse presents a highly expressive map-based composition of Europe. At the center, the silhouette of Great Britain is prominently highlighted and filled with the colored Union Jack flag, visually separating it from the surrounding European continent. An upward-pointing arrow and the bold inscription “BREXIT” dominate the upper field, symbolizing departure and change. Fine engraved outlines depict continental Europe, while the contrasting polished and matte surfaces enhance depth and clarity. The inscription “June 23, 2016” appears along the left side, marking the exact date of the historic referendum.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown, with finely detailed hair, facial features, and jewelry. Surrounding inscriptions read “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” “1 DOLLAR,” and the year “2016,” all set against a mirror-like proof background.

Struck in silver with proof quality and selective color application, this coin stands out as a bold numismatic document of modern political history. An excellent choice for collectors of contemporary themes, political milestones, and European history.
