Cook Islands 5 dollars 12 Wonders Dendrological Park Sofiyivka silver coin 2009

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars silver coin 2009 from the distinguished “12 Wonders” series is dedicated to the National Dendrological Park “Sofiyivka,” a masterpiece of landscape architecture and one of Ukraine’s most celebrated cultural treasures. This refined issue captures the poetic atmosphere of the park, where classical art and natural beauty merge in perfect harmony.

The reverse reveals an elaborate scenic composition. In the foreground stands a classical male statue with curly hair and a draped cloak, holding a vessel, his figure carefully sculpted with detailed musculature and flowing fabric. To the left spreads a richly textured tree with carved leaves and branches, while in the distance a colonnaded pavilion resembling an ancient temple rises above the landscape. A decorative fountain with twin arched streams of water enhances the depth of the scene, accompanied by ornamental plants, stones, and a gently shaped terrain. The year “2009” appears to the right, framed by circular Ukrainian inscriptions referencing the National Dendrological Park “Sofiyivka” and the “12 Wonders of Ukraine.”

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing an ornate royal tiara, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II COOK ISLANDS” and “5 DOLLARS.”

Struck in fine silver with a brilliant proof finish, this 2009 coin offers mirror-like fields and finely executed relief. An elegant collectible for admirers of classical sculpture, gardens, fountains, and architectural heritage.
