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

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2013 silver coin commemorates the 120 Years Jubilee of Novosibirsk, one of Russia’s largest cultural and scientific centers. This issue honors the founding of the city in 1893 and its rapid transformation into a major Siberian metropolis.

The reverse presents a finely engraved city map of Novosibirsk with its detailed street grid, bridges, and the winding Ob River flowing through the composition. At the center stands a gilded coat of arms: a shield crossed by a diagonal stripe, flanked by two sable supporters, topped with a mural crown and resting on a decorative ribbon. The inscription “Новосибирск 120 лет” appears along the lower rim. The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and the year “2013,” with a mirrored proof background contrasting the frosted relief.

Struck in silver in Proof quality, this coin combines precise cartographic engraving with elegant gilded heraldry, creating a striking visual depth. A meaningful tribute to Novosibirsk’s history and urban heritage, it is a distinctive collectible for lovers of city themes and world numismatics.
