| Beschrijving keerzijde | A richly colored scene evoking the romantic atmosphere of Venice dominates the reverse. In the foreground, a couple embraces aboard a black gondola gliding beneath the Rialto Bridge, rendered in vivid polychrome color applied over a finely engraved silver field. A gondolier in traditional costume stands at the stern. In the upper right, two enigmatic Carnival masks — one gold-colored, one silver — loom large behind the architectural backdrop, imbuing the composition with theatrical drama. The legend WORLD'S MOST ROMANTIC CITIES arcs along the upper border, with VENICE inscribed on the hull of the gondola in the lower field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the Cook Islands' long-running series commemorating the great trading cities of the medieval Mediterranean, this issue draws on Venice's role as the dominant silver-coinage market of the 13th and 14th centuries — the Venetian grosso and later the ducat set weight and purity benchmarks that rival mints across Europe scrambled to match. The Cook Islands has issued hundreds of numismatic pieces under licensing arrangements that effectively make it one of the world's most prolific small-nation minting programs, with the New Zealand Mint handling production.
