Steampunk began in the 1980s as a unique blend of science fiction and fantasy, imagining a world where Victorian-era style mixes with advanced steam-powered technology. The term “steampunk” was coined in 1987 by author K.W. Jeter as a playful reference to the cyberpunk genre. Today, the 2024 Antique Cook Islands Steampunk Carnival 3 oz Silver Coins are available online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 2024 Antique Cook Islands Steampunk Carnival 3 oz Silver Coin is housed in a sleek black presentation case. These coins have an antique finish, with certain elements of the reverse polished in 24-karat gold to enhance the intricate details.
Obverse
The obverse of the 2024 Antique Cook Islands Steampunk Carnival Silver Coin features a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This design showcases the King without a crown, accompanied by steampunk-inspired elements, reflecting the theme of steam-powered technology that defines the genre. The inscriptions include 20 DOLLARS, CHARLES III, and COOK ISLANDS.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 2024 Antique Steampunk Carnival 3 oz Silver Coin presents a fun scene from a steampunk-inspired carnival. A magician holding a rabbit and a strongman greet you in the foreground, while other elements like a lion and a tightrope walker add depth to the scene. Select parts of the design are highlighted with 24-karat gold for a striking contrast.
