Cook Islands 5 dollars Soviet Cartoons Film Film Film Cameraman silver coin 2012

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2012 Silver Proof coin from the creative “Soviet Cartoons” series is dedicated to the cult animated short Film, Film, Film. Struck in fine silver with a vivid colorized insert, this issue humorously celebrates the filmmaking process and the world of cinema.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing a detailed royal crown. Surrounding inscriptions read “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “COOK ISLANDS,” with the year “2012” below and the initials “IRB” beneath the neckline. The brilliant mirror-like field contrasts with the frosted relief, emphasizing the elegant Proof finish.

The reverse depicts a stylized cameraman seated on a chair under a small umbrella, operating a classic vintage movie camera with dual reels and a large lens hood. Dramatic vertical lines in the background resemble heavy rain or cinematic light streaks, enhancing the artistic mood. The title “Фильм, Фильм, Фильм” arches above, while the vertical “Союзмультфильм” inscription references the legendary animation studio.

Released in 1968, Film, Film, Film is a witty satire about the challenges of movie production and remains a symbol of creative dedication. This silver collectible is a charming tribute to animation and cinema history, perfect for film lovers and numismatic collectors alike.
