Cook Islands 5 dollars Patron Saints Series Saint Magdalene silver coin 2011

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2011 “Patron Saints Series – Saint Magdalene” silver coin is a refined rectangular Proof issue honoring one of the most revered female figures of early Christianity. Struck in fine silver, this piece reflects the spiritual depth and iconographic tradition of sacred art.

The obverse presents a beautifully colored icon-style image of Saint Magdalene against a warm golden background. A delicate halo surrounds her head, emphasizing sanctity. She is shown holding a slender cross in one hand, symbolizing faith and devotion, while the other hand rests near a small ornate vessel – a traditional attribute associated with her. Her dark mantle and softly draped garments are rendered in earthy tones, highlighting the solemn expression and classical Byzantine-inspired features. Along the lower edge appears the year “2011” and the Cyrillic inscription identifying the saint.

The reverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II in elegant relief, framed by the inscriptions “COOK ISLANDS,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “ELIZABETH II.” The mirrored Proof field contrasts with the frosted portrait, enhancing visual depth.

A meaningful addition to any religious or world silver coin collection, this Patron Saints series issue unites faith, artistry and numismatic craftsmanship.
