Silver Twenty Grams 2013 Yours Always, 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.

Collector coins are dedicated to historical or general popular culture themes not related to the country itself. Many of them are in bullion sizes based on the troy ounce, but some are "metric", like twenty grams (20g) of silver.

The company says about this coin:
The 2013 Yours Always Swan 20g Silver Coloured Proof Cook Islands coin is a unique romantic gift for partners to symbolise their love and devotion to each other.

Coins have made excellent gifts for hundreds of years, and giving these small tokens is something everyone, especially those in romantic relationships, can get into the spirit of. A silver coin may be the perfect way to commemorate a lasting relationship, either at its inception or along the way as an anniversary gift. Now there is a special coin to celebrate long-lasting romance.

This heart-shaped coin bears on its reverse two swans coloured with gentle hues. The edge of the coin and the raised gold heart just inside it suggest two intertwining rings. The pair of swans glide gently through the water, celebrating the blessings each has found in the other. The elegant swan symbolises inner beauty and grace, and this bird is said to represent integrity, honour and commitment. Swans mate for life, so of course this coin bears the legend, “Yours Always” in beautiful script.

This sweet silver coin comes in a heart shaped velvet presentation case and comes with a certificate of Authenticity. Whether you give it away as a gift or keep it for yourself, it may have a lasting place in your heart for eternity.
