Cook Islands 5 dollars Patron Sains series St. Nicholas silver coin 2011

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2011 “Patron Saints Series – St. Nicholas” silver coin is a remarkable rectangular Proof issue dedicated to one of Christianity’s most venerated saints. Struck in fine silver, this piece honors Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, known as a protector of children, sailors and the needy.

The obverse features a richly colored icon-style portrait of St. Nicholas with a radiant halo against a deep green background. He is depicted with white hair and beard, wearing ornate red and gold episcopal vestments adorned with floral crosses and decorative patterns. In one hand he raises a gesture of blessing, while in the other he holds a richly ornamented Gospel book with a gold central medallion. The inscriptions “2011” and “Св. Николай Чудотворец” appear along the lower edge.

The reverse presents the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in elegant relief, framed by the inscriptions “COOK ISLANDS,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “ELIZABETH II,” along with the initials IRB. The mirrored Proof fields enhance the contrast between portrait and background.

A meaningful collectible combining faith, art and numismatics, this Patron Saints series coin is a beautiful addition to any religious or world silver coin collection.
