| Beschrijving keerzijde | Highly detailed, high-relief depiction of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea, shown as a muscular, armoured figure with a fish-scale lower body, brandishing a long trident diagonally across the field with both hands. The god wears an ornate horned helmet and is flanked on either side by rearing sea horses amid turbulent waves and swirling oceanic elements. A ribbon-style cartouche at the base of the design bears the inscription POSEIDON, with the engraver's initials JM visible in the lower central field. The entire composition is struck in deep antiqued relief, accentuating the dramatic musculature and intricate decorative detail throughout. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Poseidon issue is part of Cook Islands' long-running collaboration with the European Mint, which has produced an enormous volume of high-relief, antiqued silver pieces marketed primarily to collectors rather than circulating users. Cook Islands holds legal authority to issue coinage under its status as a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, an arrangement that has made it one of the more prolific issuers of numismatic-grade silver in the Pacific — producing far more collector pieces than its population of roughly 17,000 could ever require.
