| 背面描述 | Central depiction of Saint Martin of Tours mounted on horseback, dressed in a Roman military cloak (chlamys) enhanced with applied gold gilding, with a gilt aureola surrounding his head. The saint is shown in the act of dividing his cloak with a sword to share half with a kneeling beggar at the lower right of the composition. The scene is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the horse's trappings and the figures' drapery. The inscriptions SAINT MARTIN and 11th of November 2008 appear within the design, commemorating the feast day of Saint Martin. |

Saint Martin of Tours is one of the most reproduced subjects in medieval ecclesiastical art, but his association with coinage runs deeper than iconography — he was invoked as patron of the French monetary system for centuries, and Tours itself gave its name to the *tournois* denomination that dominated European trade currency through the 13th and 14th centuries. Cook Islands issued numerous themed silver pieces in this period through the Pacific island commemorative market, a distribution model that kept production costs low and collector premiums high.
