Cook Islands 5 dollars Pechersk Trinity Church Kyiv Ukraine silver coin 2008

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2008 silver coin is dedicated to the Trinity Gate Church of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, one of the most recognizable sacred architectural monuments of Kyiv, Ukraine. This issue highlights the spiritual and historical importance of the monastery complex, blending proof silver brilliance with selective color accents that bring the cathedral to life.

The reverse presents a detailed view of the Trinity Gate Church with its tall central tower crowned by a gilded dome and cross. Warm golden tones emphasize the dome and upper architectural elements, contrasting beautifully with the engraved silver façades of surrounding monastery buildings. A cobblestone pathway leads toward the arched entrance, where a small human silhouette adds depth and realism. Decorative fences, a tree with textured foliage, lantern posts, and clouds in the sky complete the scene. Along the rim appears the inscription “Свято-Успенська Києво-Печерська,” while to the right reads “Троїцька надбрамна церква,” and the date “2008” is placed below. The obverse features the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II with “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” and “5 DOLLARS” in elegant relief.

Struck in fine silver with a proof finish, this architectural commemorative coin is a refined tribute to Orthodox heritage and historic landmarks. An excellent choice for collectors of religious and world silver coins.
