| Beschrijving keerzijde | Finely detailed depiction of the god Apollo seated in a classical garden setting, playing his golden lyre. The figure is rendered with elaborate drapery and idealized Hellenistic musculature. In the background to the right, the nymph Daphne is shown in mid-transformation into a laurel tree, her arms becoming branches. The inscription APOLLO appears in the field. The antiqued high-relief finish lends the composition a sculptural, three-dimensional quality. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the anniversary of the Apollo program, this is one of hundreds of Cook Islands collector pieces struck under licensing arrangements that make the territory one of the most prolific issuers of commemorative silver in the world — a function of revenue generation rather than any circulating monetary need. The coins are legal tender in name only; none reach Cook Islands shores in practice.
The two-troy-ounce specification places it in a category of issues designed primarily for bullion-adjacent collectors rather than numismatists proper.
