"Girl with a Pearl Earring" Vermeer Masterpieces of Art 3 oz Proof Silver Coin 20$ Cook Islands 2014

The popular and successful Masterpieces of Art series of silver coins by Cook Islands has been replenished with a new piece of art. The $20 coin of .999 silver with Swarovski elements is dedicated to Jan Vermeer’s panting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (1665), often referred to as the Dutch Mona Lisa. The worldwide mintage is quite symbolic – only 1665 pieces.

The obverse of the Cook Islands coin traditionally bears the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim of the silver coin, there are the inscriptions denoting the name of the Queen, the face value of the coin and the name of the issuing country.

The reverse of this gorgeous coin is embellished with a full-color reproduction of Vermeer's painting decorated on both sides with sixteen genuine Swarovski crystals. Depicting a beautiful young girl dressed in an exotic turban that gazes at the viewer, it is one of the author’s most engaging images. The painting was originally titled ‘Girl with a Turban’ and it wasn't until the second half of the twentieth century that the name was changed. The upper part of the reverse contains the legend indicating the name of the series. This small silver masterpiece is a must-have for any serious collector as well as a great gift idea!
