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

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2012 Silver Proof coin from the imaginative “Soviet Cartoons” series is dedicated to the iconic animated satire Film, Film, Film. Struck in fine silver and enhanced with a vivid colorized insert, this issue highlights the humorous behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking.

The obverse presents the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II wearing an ornate royal crown. The inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” and “COOK ISLANDS” encircle the effigy, with the year “2012” and the initials “IRB” below. The brilliant mirror field contrasts elegantly with the frosted relief, emphasizing the refined Proof quality.

The reverse depicts a charming studio scene: a stout film director in a red jacket holds a pink flower while facing a small actress-like character wearing a red bow and hat. Around them appear studio lights, a spotlight, hanging stage curtains, and filming equipment. The textured ground is decorated with floral patterns. Above arches the inscription “Фильм, Фильм, Фильм,” while the vertical “Союзмультфильм” mark references the legendary animation studio.

Released in 1968, Film, Film, Film became a witty symbol of the creative struggles of cinema production. This silver collectible is a delightful tribute to animation art and film history, making it a distinctive addition to any themed coin collection.
