Silver Ounce 2018 Tree Frog, Coin from Cook Islands - detailed information

The Cook Islands, a sovereign state in free association with New Zealand, uses two official legal tender currencies. The New Zealand Dollar circulates in parallel with the local Cook Islands Dollar; at the same time, the government also authorises many legal tender coins in the Cook Islands Dollar currency for collector's purposes. Many of them are in standard bullion sizes, including one ounce of silver - such as this coin.

This coin is part of the Magnificent Life collection by CIT Coin Invest.

The Mint says about it:
Red-eyed tree frogs are one of the most charismatic rainforest species and embody the neotropical ecosystem on a multitude of company logos, hotels, nature reserves and more. Surprisingly, however, the ornately coloured frog species is a master at disguise and presents a tough challenge to seek out in the wild. During the day the frogs hide their colourful legs, feet and eyes and crouch down to perfectly blend in with the surrounding green foliage.

The latest addition to the Magnficent Life series portrays an alert frog showcasing its vibrant colors. A glossy treatment gives the frog a natural wet-look. Typical for the series, the critter stands out from the concave background that illustrates a Monstera jungle leaf. Shiny proof surfaces in the leaf’s gaps add to the coins exquisite play of colour and shine.
