Cook Islands 20 $ Viktor Vasnetsov Art Bogatyrs Missing Crystal silver coin 2010

The 2010 Cook Islands 20 Dollars silver coin from the “Masterpieces of Art” series honors the legendary Russian painter Viktor Vasnetsov and his iconic work Bogatyrs. This impressive issue captures the epic spirit of Slavic folklore, portraying the heroic defenders of ancient Rus in a richly detailed numismatic format.

The obverse features a refined right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a crown and earrings, with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the denomination “20 DOLLARS.” The reverse presents a vivid color reproduction of Bogatyrs: three armored warriors on horseback against a wide landscape. A white horse and a dark horse stand prominently in the foreground, while the central rider shades his eyes, scanning the horizon. Ornamental architectural motifs frame the scene, with the inscription “MASTERPIECES OF ART” above, the year “2010” below, and “VIKTOR VASNETSOV” engraved along the lower rim. Rectangular crystal inserts decorate the border, adding brilliance and depth to the composition.

Struck in silver with a proof finish, this coin combines fine art, folklore, and craftsmanship. A powerful collectible for admirers of historical painting and epic themes, it brings Vasnetsov’s heroic vision into precious metal.
