Cook Islands 5 dollars Wildlife Cobra Snake Fauna PF70 NGC colored Ag coin 2017

The 2017 Cook Islands 5 Dollars “Magnificent Life – Cobra” is a striking proof silver coin dedicated to one of the most iconic and feared reptiles of the animal kingdom. Part of the “Magnificent Life” wildlife series, this colorized issue captures the raw power and hypnotic presence of the cobra in extraordinary detail.

The obverse features a dramatic close-up of a cobra with its hood fully expanded. The finely engraved scales, piercing eyes, and extended forked tongue create a lifelike three-dimensional effect. Rich brown tones highlight the snake’s body, while deep blue accents decorate the patterned hood, enhancing contrast against the mirrored proof background. The inscription “MAGNIFICENT LIFE” appears along the lower rim.

The reverse displays the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “COOK ISLANDS,” “5 DOLLARS,” and the year “2017.”

Struck in .999 fine silver and graded PF70 ULTRA CAMEO by NGC, this flawless specimen represents the highest level of preservation. A powerful addition for collectors of wildlife, reptile, and high-grade certified silver coins.
