The Numismatic Icons series continues its legacy of mythological mastery with the 2025 “Leon” 1 oz Silver Antiqued Coin, a tribute to the legendary lion of Apollo—a symbol of divine strength, illumination, and protection. Struck in ultra-pure .9999 fine silver and finished in an antiqued patina, this release stands as both a work of art and a timeless reflection of ancient heritage.
In the heart of Greek mythology, the lion represented the unwavering power of Apollo, guardian of music, prophecy, and healing. The coin’s reverse brings this ancient symbol to life: a majestic lion rendered in breathtaking high relief, muscles taut and mane flowing as it watches over the sacred colony of Leontini—a region once famed for its golden barley fields and prosperous harvests. The inclusion of barley grain imagery within the design subtly honors this agricultural abundance, connecting the coin’s artistry to the land’s historical richness.
The design also incorporates “CI” numerals, an elegant nod to classical Greek coinage, blending ancient symbolism with modern craftsmanship. Utilizing smartminting® technology, the Cook Islands Mint achieves remarkable sculptural depth and dimensionality, allowing every feature of the lion to leap from the surface with lifelike vitality. The antiqued finish adds to its sense of timelessness, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike—each coin bears its own distinct character, like a relic from antiquity newly unearthed.
Measuring 33 mm in diameter and weighing one troy ounce, the 2025 Leon coin carries a $5 legal tender value authorized by the Cook Islands. With an edition strictly limited to only 999 coins worldwide, its rarity is matched only by its artistic prestige. Each coin arrives mint-certified in an elegant presentation case, complete with a certificate of authenticity—ready to display, gift, or preserve as part of a distinguished collection.
A striking fusion of myth, art, and history, the 2025 Cook Islands “Leon” Silver Antiqued Coin captures the enduring power of Apollo’s lion — a timeless guardian of light, artistry, and strength.
