Cook Islands 1 dollar Chinese Year of the Dragon Orange PR69 PCGS Ag coin 2012

The Cook Islands 1 Dollar Chinese Year of the Dragon coin, issued in 2012, is a vibrant proof silver commemorative inspired by the Chinese Lunar Calendar and the powerful symbolism of the Dragon. Representing strength, prosperity, wisdom, and good fortune, the Dragon is one of the most revered creatures in Chinese culture, making this coin especially desirable for collectors of lunar-themed and symbolic numismatics. Certified by PCGS in PR69 DCAM condition, it combines artistic color with guaranteed quality.

The reverse features a rectangular silver coin format with a richly colored Chinese dragon rendered in shades of orange, red, and gold. The dragon is shown in a dynamic, coiled pose, with detailed scales, claws, whiskers, and flowing mane, symbolizing power and vitality. Beneath and around the dragon appear ornamental floral elements, including large blossoms and leaves, adding balance and cultural depth to the design. On the right side of the reverse, inscriptions indicate the metal and purity, integrated discreetly into the polished field. The contrast between mirror-like silver and vivid color enhances visual impact.

The obverse displays the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with finely engraved hair, facial features, and crown. Surrounding inscriptions read “ONE DOLLAR,” “COOK ISLANDS,” “ELIZABETH II,” and the year “2012,” all set against a deep proof background within the rectangular frame.

Struck in silver with proof quality and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this coin is a refined collectible celebrating lunar tradition, symbolism, and modern minting artistry.
