Bring the Queen of England's effigy to your coin collection twice over with a coin designed to celebrate her birthday. The 2016 3 oz Cook Islands Queen Elizabeth II 90th Birthday Silver Coin is a gorgeous addition to display cases and a valuable item for any coin collector.
Ian-Rank Broadley created an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II for use on coins starting in 1998. That portrait was used on UK, Australian and other coins through 2015, when a new portrait was created by Jody Clark. The IRB portrait brought more realism to the Queen's coin effigy when compared to previous versions. It appears on the obverse of the 2016 Cook Islands Queen Elizabeth II 90th birthday silver coin along with inscriptions that state the face value, the queen's name and Cook Islands.
Because it's the birthday celebration coin, the reverse also has the queen's effigy. It's the same Ian-Rank Broadley image, though it's presented on the reverse in finer detail that pops thanks to stunning frosted devices that float on the mirrored field of the coin. The only inscription on the reverse other than IRB's initials under the portrait are the words Happy 90th Birthday.
The coin is graded as PR69 by PCGS, which means you're receiving a stunning near-perfect proof specimen. It arrives in a protective plastic slab to help protect your investment during transport and provide a convenient option for storage or safe display.
The Cook Islands are known for issuing a wide variety of both circulating and noncirculating coins of all types. That's due in part to the fact that the Cook Islands government has an agreement that makes it possible to earn revenue by allowing various mints to produce coins with the Cook Islands name on them. The Cook Islands does not have its own mint.
Cook Islands coins in general are popular with collectors, and with such variety and low mintages, they can be rare.
