Cook Islands: Seven Deadly Sins – Gluttony, Colorized, 1 oz Silver, 2026, Proof

Cook Islands: Seven Deadly Sins – Gluttony Colorized 1 oz Silver 2026 Proof (ID: 13541) is a colorized coin depicting one of the seven deadly sins—gluttony. The deadly sins have their roots in early Christianity and were known as early as the 4th century; it was not until the 13th century that Thomas Aquinas incorporated them into the moral teaching of the Catholic Church.

In this series, gluttony is illustrated by a panda, which spends an average of 14 hours a day eating bamboo, consuming up to 40 kg per day. The panda symbolizes “never enough,” while appearing cute, innocent, and calm—perfectly reflecting the nature of a sin that seems harmless at first glance but is in fact destructive. The coin is limited to just 999 pieces worldwide and serves as an ironic illustration of this vice.

Packaged in the manufacturer’s elegant box, perfect as a gift or as part of a numismatic collection.

On the obverse there is a clear portrait of King Charles III, surrounded by inscriptions indicating his titles and the coin’s date of issue. The face value has been placed in a harmonious way so as not to distract from the main motif. The overall design creates an elegant and dignified composition that underscores the coin’s prestige.

The reverse features a panda eating bamboo.
