A new coin.
The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2008 “Christmas in Rome” silver coin is a beautifully designed triangular proof issue celebrating the festive atmosphere of Christmas in the Eternal City. This commemorative piece unites Christian tradition with iconic Roman architecture in a distinctive geometric format.
The reverse presents a richly detailed Christmas composition. A large decorated Christmas tree dominates the center, its branches set with multicolored crystal ornaments in red, blue, green, and yellow. At the base of the tree, a gilded Nativity scene is depicted within a classical structure, symbolizing the birth of Christ. To the right rises the grand dome and façade of St. Peter’s Basilica, rendered in elegant relief with selective gilding. The inscription “CHRISTMAS IN ROME 2008” appears along the lower right edge. The contrast between polished silver fields, frosted textures, and gold accents enhances the depth and brilliance of the design.
The obverse, also triangular, features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “5 DOLLARS.”
Struck in .999 fine silver with Proof Deep Cameo quality and certified PCGS PR70 DCAM, this perfect-grade coin is a remarkable addition for collectors of religious themes, architecture, and unique shaped world silver issues.
