Hold 400 years of history in your hand with the new 2021 Cook Islands X-Ray Vitruvian Man 1 oz Silver Proof Coin!

Introducing the brand new release from CIT, the 2021 Cook Islands X-Ray Vitruvian Man 1 oz Silver Proof Coin. This incredibly unique coin is based on a 1490 drawing by Leonardo da Vinci that includes notes based on the Roman architect Vitruvius' work. Inscribed in the circle and square, the drawing portrays a man in two superimposed positions with his arms and legs apart. It is held in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy, and reflects da Vinci's definition of ideal human body proportions.

Fast forward 405 years and one of the most groundbreaking inventions was created by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895: The X-Ray. The current coin combines both da Vinci’s artistic perspective on the human body and the X-Ray invention to deliver the 2021 Cook Islands X-Ray Vitruvian Man 1 oz Silver Proof Coin. This unique coin incorporates some of the most cutting-edge minting technology and colorization to produce a one-of-a-kind product.

Struck with .999 pure silver, this one troy-ounce coin is struck in Ultra High Relief. This coin is struck with a limited mintage of just 999 coins, meaning it will not only sell quickly but will be difficult to find once out of stock. The coin has a face value of $5, backed by the issuing country of The Cook Islands. 

On the reverse, you'll find the Vitruvian Man in ultra-high relief, surrounded by historical sketches and notes, and on the obverse, his colorized X-ray portrait. The year, issuing country, face value, and Queen’s effigy are all found on the coins obverse face.
