| Reversbeschreibung | Full-color reproduction of the celebrated 12th-century Byzantine icon known as the Theotokos of Vladimir (Our Lady of Vladimir), depicted in the traditional Eleusa (Tenderness) type, printed directly onto the rectangular flan surface. The image renders the Virgin Mary in a dark maphorion tenderly inclining her cheek toward the Christ Child, who embraces her neck. Overlaid at center is a raised, three-dimensional silver appliqué depicting the faces of the Virgin and the Christ Child in high sculptural relief, their features rendered with delicate expressiveness. The silver insert is shaped to follow the contours of the figures' heads, creating a striking mixed-media effect that unites color printing with minted relief. No inscriptions appear on the reverse. |

The Theotokos of Vladimir is among the most venerated icons in Russian Orthodox history, traditionally attributed to Byzantine origin and believed to have been brought to Kyiv from Constantinople around 1131. It was carried to Vladimir in 1155 and eventually to Moscow, where it was credited with turning back Tamerlane's invasion in 1395 — a claim that cemented its status as a palladium of the Russian state. Cook Islands issued this piece as part of a broader wave of icon-themed numismatic releases from Eastern European and Pacific mints in the mid-2000s, a market driven almost entirely by Russian and Ukrainian collector demand.
