Silver Coin Cook Islands: Historical Monuments – Jefferson Memorial 2 oz Silver 2026 Antiqued Ultra High Relief

Cook Islands: Historical Monuments – Jefferson Memorial 2 oz Silver 2026 Antiqued Ultra High Relief is the final release of the acclaimed series dedicated to the world’s most important monuments. The coin pays tribute to the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C.—a monumental structure erected in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence.

The coin is struck from 2 oz of .9999 fine silver and has a diameter of 38.61 mm. Produced in ultra high relief with an antique finish, it offers impressive depth of detail and a pronounced three-dimensional effect. The two-sided relief fully conveys the monument’s architectural proportions and structure.

The Jefferson Memorial, inspired by the Roman Pantheon, is distinguished by its classical dome and neoclassical colonnade. The coin’s design emphasizes the building’s monumental character, with the dome’s coffered ceiling serving as an essential compositional element visible in the background of the relief.

The coin was issued in 2026 as legal tender of the Cook Islands with a face value of 10 dollars. A limited mintage of 999 pieces underscores its collectible character and its status as the conclusion of the entire series.
