Cook Islands – 2025 – 5 Dollars – Tiger (Black & White series)

Description

The tiger is a global symbol of strength, courage, and independence. In many cultures, it is revered as the ruler of the forest, a creature that inspires both fear and awe. This coin picks up on this symbolism and invites us to celebrate the wildness and pride of this magnificent predator.

At the center of the coin is a fascinating portrait of a tiger, whose face is captured with flawless precision. The tiger’s distinctive stripes – symbols of camouflage and grace – are highlighted by the exclusive, deep black obsidian finish. The artfully applied white accents highlight the characteristic stripes and bring the portrait to life.  Special attention is paid to the tiger’s reflective eyes, which are both frightening and attractive. This effect gives the tiger a presence that captivates the viewer.

The background of the coin features a relief structure that replicates the tiger’s fur. This detail not only makes the coin aesthetically appealing but also reinforces its connection to nature. The combination of texture and shine gives the reverse side an extraordinary look and a distinctive character.

The 1 oz smartminting® silver coin is limited to only 500 pieces worldwide.
