Cook Islands 5 dollars Soviet Cartoons Maugli Mowgli Baloo Bear silver coin 2011

The Cook Islands 5 Dollars 2011 silver coin from the “Soviet Cartoons” series is dedicated to Baloo, the warm-hearted bear from the classic animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s jungle stories about Mowgli. This charming issue captures the humor and kindness of one of the most beloved characters of Soviet animation.

The reverse shows a colored image of Baloo reclining playfully against a large tree trunk, one paw raised in a carefree gesture. Around him are several small wolf cubs, climbing over his body and sitting nearby, their figures highlighted in soft blue tones. The textured background depicts a forest landscape with a sloping ground and detailed bark surface. The bold Cyrillic inscription “Балу” is placed above the scene. A small copyright mark is visible near the lower edge. Frosted relief contrasts beautifully with the mirror-like Proof field.

The obverse features the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “5 DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS,” the year 2011, and the initials “IRB.” Struck in fine silver in Proof quality, this coin is a delightful collectible for fans of animation, folklore, and world numismatics — a nostalgic treasure full of character and warmth.
