Cook Islands – 2017 – 5 Dollars – Murrine Millefiori Glass Art

Description

The exceptionally popular Murrine Millefiori set comes to a close in 2017 with the third and final issue of this award winning series.

True to the series’ character, the 2017 coin features a murrine millefiori glass ring and a corresponding heart at the center of the coin. This year the ornaments are set on a lush green background resembling a lively wildflower meadow.
