| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a vibrant ring of authentic murrine millefiori glass inlay encircling the outer annulus of the coin, composed of tightly packed cross-sections of multicolored Murano-style glass canes displaying floral and geometric patterns in red, blue, green, yellow, and white. Within the central silver disk, a large heart-shaped outline is engraved in the field, its interior filled with a translucent window revealing the colorful glass beneath. The inscription MILLEFIORI arcs along the upper portion of the central disk, flanked by the words MURRINE to the left and GLASS ART to the right, with the date 2015 incuse at the base. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The murrine millefiori technique embedded in this coin originates from Venetian glassmaking traditions dating back at least to the Renaissance, though the method itself is considerably older — cross-sections of bundled glass rods fused together to produce floral patterns that only become visible when sliced. Cook Islands has leaned heavily on novelty-composite issues since the early 2000s, partnering with European specialty manufacturers to embed genuine handmade glass elements into legal-tender silver strikes. Each glass insert is unique, meaning no two examples of this coin are strictly identical.
