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 remarkable issue pays tribute to one of the most iconic frescoes in the history of Western art, painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The reverse features a vivid color reproduction of the legendary scene: Adam reclining on the earth to the left, his arm extended toward God, who floats within a swirling mantle surrounded by angels. Their nearly touching hands form the emotional and symbolic center of the композиция. Above and below the image, a row of rectangular crystal-like inserts frames the artwork, while architectural engravings, arches, and the inscription “ARS VATICANA” enrich the upper field. The lower part bears the date 2008 and the name MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI.

The obverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a crowned diadem, with inscriptions ELIZABETH II, COOK ISLANDS, and 20 DOLLARS. Struck in fine silver with a prooflike finish, this coin is part of the prestigious “Masterpieces of Art” series and represents a timeless fusion of numismatics and Renaissance genius. A stunning collectible for art lovers and investors alike.
