Cook Islands 20 dollars Lady Godiva Collier Masterpieces Art silver coin 2013

The Cook Islands 20 Dollars 2013 silver coin from the celebrated “Masterpieces of Art” series is dedicated to John Collier’s iconic painting Lady Godiva. This refined Proof issue captures one of the most dramatic legends of medieval England through the lens of classical European art.

The reverse features a detailed color reproduction of Collier’s masterpiece: Lady Godiva portrayed nude, seated side-saddle on a powerful chestnut horse with a white head and red bridle. Her long dark hair falls forward as she lowers her gaze, embodying modesty and quiet determination. The background reveals stone architecture, columns, and archways, enhancing the historic atmosphere. The composition is framed by decorative elements, geometric borders, and the inscription “MASTERPIECES OF ART,” along with the year 2013 and “JOHN COLLIER.” The obverse presents the elegant right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the denomination “20 DOLLARS.”

Struck in fine silver in Proof quality, the coin combines mirrored fields with frosted relief. John Collier, a British Pre-Raphaelite painter, became renowned for historical and mythological scenes rich in symbolism. Lady Godiva’s legendary ride represents courage and sacrifice.

A striking fusion of art history and precious metal—an exceptional piece for collectors of world coins and fine art themes.
