Cook Islands 5 dollars 120 Years Jubilee of Novosibirsk Siberia silver coin 2013

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars silver coin 2013 commemorates the 120 Years Jubilee of Novosibirsk, one of the largest cities in Siberia and an important cultural and scientific center of Russia. This striking issue honors the city’s foundation and its rapid transformation into a major metropolis.

The reverse presents a finely engraved city map of Novosibirsk with clearly defined streets, кварталы, river contours, bridges, and urban grid lines. At the center stands a gilded coat of arms: two sable animals supporting a shield topped with a mural crown, all highlighted in gold against the silver background. The Ob River and bridge structure are visible within the map design, emphasizing the city’s geographic identity. The inscription “NOVOSIBIRSK 120 LET” is placed along the lower edge, integrating seamlessly into the cartographic composition.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a royal tiara, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II 5 DOLLARS COOK ISLANDS” and the year “2013.”

Struck in fine silver with proof quality and selective gilding, this commemorative issue combines modern cartography with heraldic symbolism. An excellent collectible for admirers of city anniversaries, Siberian history, maps, and architectural heritage.
