Crystals have a natural appeal for the pattern-recognition machine that is the human brain, and artworks that evoke crystals bring out the same sense of magic: an instinctive belief that the ordered and intricate facets of stone represent an inherent supernatural power. Many cultures over the centuries and all over the world have attributed healing power to crystals, but you don’t need to share those beliefs to appreciate them or the kind of pure silver collectible that celebrates them. The 2022 Proof Cook Islands Silver The Rock 2 oz Silver Coin, now available from Provident Metals, is an innovative example of just that kind of collectible.
Coin Highlights:
The 2022 Proof Cook Islands The Rock Silver Coin’s offers a stunning mixture of ultra high-relief engraving and brilliant mirrored proof-finish backgrounds. An advanced example of the capabilities of SmartMinting technology, it comes fully insured by the team at Provident Metals in a custom display case with a colorful geometric decoration, along with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Obverse
Queen Elizabeth II’s profile portrait on the obverse side confirms the coin as legal tender. This is surrounded by the inscriptions “ELIZABETH II,” “10 DOLLARS,” “COOK ISLANDS” and “2022.”
Reverse
A complex contrasting field of mirrored backgrounds and ultra high-relief engraving forms a stunning geometric design on the coin’s reverse side, reminiscent of a faceted diamond or geode as light dances off its surfaces.
History
SmartMinting technology, pioneered by the Coin Investment Trust in 2016, makes possible this coin’s combination of extraordinary relief heights and incredibly intricate detail. Naturalistically portraying a faceted rock with its sophisticated design and shape — with the ultra high-relief aspects of the design even uniquely visible in side profile and particularly pronounced near the edge — it’s sure to attract anyone who loves precious and semi-precious stones, as well as collectors and investors of every stripe.
