Obverse

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Colorized Cook Islands Phobias Arachnophobia Silver Coin showcases a left-profile portrait of King Charles III. This depiction of His Majesty, designed by Dan Thorne, does not include a crown. The background subtly incorporates the outline of a human face, adding an extra layer of detail to the design. The inscriptions include PHOBIAS, 10 DOLLARS, CHARLES III, and COOK ISLANDS.

Reverse

On the reverse of the 2025 Proof Colorized Phobias Arachnophobia 2 oz Silver Coin, a massive spider lurks above a small girl. The concave design enhances the eerie perspective, making it appear as though the spider is looming overhead. The girl is seen holding a lantern, cautiously moving forward, while the green-toned background adds to the unsettling atmosphere.

History

Some researchers suggest that a fear of spiders may have evolved as a survival instinct, as some species pose real dangers. However, for most people, the fear response is far greater than the actual threat presented by these creatures.
