Cook Islands – 2026 – 10 Dollars – Statue of Liberty 2oz silver (Timeless Icons series)

Description

The Statue of Liberty in New York is one of the most famous landmarks in the United States. It was ceremoniously inaugurated in 1886 as a gift from France to the USA. For the United States, it remains a powerful symbol of freedom, hope, and immigration, as it was the first visible sign of a new beginning and new opportunities for many people who came to the country via Ellis Island. Even today, it remains a symbol of American values.

The coin’s design fully reflects the importance of this icon. Thanks to the smartminting® technique used, the Statue of Liberty is virtually enthroned on the coin. A mixture of matt and polished surfaces, as well as the fact that it protrudes into the edge of the coin in several places, create a very special effect.

The phrase “E pluribus unum” (out of many, one) on the edge of the coin has a very special meaning for the United States of America. It symbolizes that the original 13 individual colonies formed a single state and appears on many American coins.

The background is formed by the Manhattan skyline against a structure of fine guilloché lines, symbolizing the glamour of the famous district. The aesthetic finish is provided by the enamel, which separates the Statue of Liberty from the rest of the coin in a special way, deliberately making it the real eye-catcher. A very successful modern interpretation of a timeless icon.
