Cook Islands 5 dollars Patron Saints series St. Olga silver coin 2011

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2011 silver coin from the “Patron Saints” series honors St. Olga, one of the most venerated rulers in Eastern Christian history and a key figure in the Christianization of Kievan Rus. This beautifully executed commemorative piece combines sacred iconography with refined proof craftsmanship, making it a meaningful collectible for lovers of religious art and world numismatics.

The reverse presents a richly colored icon-style portrait of St. Olga with a radiant golden halo. She is depicted frontally, wearing a traditional headdress and veil, adorned garments with red ornamental embroidery, and a pendant medallion. In her right hand she holds an Orthodox cross, symbolizing faith, while in her left she supports a miniature church with a domed roof and cross. The vertical date “2011” appears along the left edge, and the Cyrillic inscription “Св. равноап. княгиня Ольга” is placed at the bottom. The obverse features the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, with the inscriptions “COOK ISLANDS,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “ELIZABETH II,” struck in elegant relief on a mirrored proof field.

Struck in fine silver in proof quality, this coin stands out for its vivid coloration and sharp detailing. A powerful tribute to faith, leadership, and heritage, it is a distinguished addition to any collection.
