2025 Cook Islands 2 oz Silver Reconstruction Gorilla Coloured Proof Coin

This is an exceptionally surreal animal portrait in ultra-high relief. The gorilla’s figure is depicted soaring through multiple levels of silver segments, a feat made possible by advanced smartminting® technology. This innovative technique involves breaking down boundaries to create a new and uniquely shaped work of art that extends beyond the edge of the coin. Design elements incorporating sophisticated ethnic patterns contribute to a thematic link to the origins of this magnificent animal.

It is a tribute to the majestic creatures of the African wilderness, in particular the gorilla, often referred to as the "guardian of the jungle".
