Cook Islands 5 dollars Soviet Cartoons Maugli Mowgli Bagheera silver coin 2011

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2011 silver coin from the “Soviet Cartoons” series is dedicated to Bagheera, the iconic black panther from the classic animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s jungle stories. This issue honors one of the most memorable characters of Soviet animation, symbolizing wisdom, strength, and loyalty.

The reverse features a striking colored image of Bagheera in deep black with subtle blue contours, standing gracefully on a rocky riverbank. In the background, a large bird with wide outstretched wings edged in red flies above the landscape. The scene includes detailed jungle elements: tree branches, textured ground, flowing water, and vegetation rendered in frosted relief against a mirror-like Proof field. The bold Cyrillic inscription “Багира” appears prominently at the top. A small copyright mark is visible near the lower edge.

The obverse presents the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS,” “2011,” and the initials “IRB.” Struck in fine silver in Proof quality, this coin is a rare thematic piece for collectors of animation art and world numismatics. A distinctive and emotional collectible with strong visual appeal.
