Cook Islands 20 dollars Michelangelo Art Creation of Adam silver coin 2008

Cook Islands 20 Dollars 2008 “Masterpieces of Art” – Michelangelo Creation of Adam silver coin. This impressive issue honors one of the most celebrated frescoes of the Renaissance, painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. The reverse presents a detailed color reproduction of the iconic scene: Adam reclining on the earth at left, his muscular figure extended toward God, who emerges dynamically from a swirling mantle surrounded by angels and cherubs. Their nearly touching fingers symbolize the spark of life. Above the композиция appears the inscription “ARS VATICANA” with finely engraved architectural vaults and arches, while below are the date 2008 and the name MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI. Rectangular crystal inserts frame the artwork, adding brilliance and depth.

The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a crowned diadem and earrings, with the inscriptions ELIZABETH II, COOK ISLANDS and 20 DOLLARS. Struck in fine silver with a proof finish, this coin forms part of the prestigious “Masterpieces of Art” series. A timeless fusion of faith, history, and numismatic craftsmanship.
