CAPTAIN COOK SILVER PROOF COIN COLLECTION, 4 x 1 oz Silver 1$, Proof, 2009
Captain Cook Silver Proof Coin Collection 2009
Originally released in 2009 to mark the 230th anniversary of its subject's untimely death, the 2009 Captain Cook Silver Proof Coin Collection brings together four designed 1-ounce proof silver coins from the Perth Mint as a tribute to one of Australia's greatest explorers. Total weight 4 ounces of pure .999 silver 1,779 sets issued Selective full-color embellishments add an additional layer of contrast to each scene: a third voice rises above the dialogue between glassy, mirror-like surfaces and frosted fields. On the common obverse, the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II fittingly confirms the coins' status as the Cook Islands' official legal tender. All four designs from the Perth Mint were minted in convincing proof quality.
