Silver Ounce 2023 Typefaces - Frankenstein, 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.

The mint says about this coin:
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a literary marvel, captivating readers with its chilling tale of science gone awry. Since it was published anonymously in 1818, Frankenstein’s monster still haunts the pages, terrifying and heartbreaking at the same time.

Contrary to conventional depictions, on our coin, the iconic monster reveals itself through individual letters. Readers with a razor-sharp vision, or with help of a magnifying glass, will discover the words written derive from the fateful scene where the monster draws its first breath.
