Cook Islands released a new coin, may be one of the hottest coins on the planet – the 2014 $50 Mother of Pearl Nautilus!

Issued in tiny numbers, with a mere 750 of the Silver 5oz available worldwide, this dynamic coin pays homage to the famous submarine from the classic science fiction novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, penned by Jules Verne and published in 1870. The Nautilus was described by Verne as 'a masterpiece containing masterpieces' – a description that can easily be applied to this spectacular coin!

Spanning a massive 65mm in diameter, and comprising FIVE TROY OUNCES of pure .999 SILVER, this stunning legal tender issue is highlighted by a core of genuine Mother of Pearl. A miniature work of art, depicting the Nautilus passing a giant octopus, the authentic Mother of Pearl insert adds the perfect finishing touch to a coin of the utmost quality, splendour and prestige.

With the first two coins of both the Gold 5oz and Silver 5oz Mother of Pearl Series – honouring the Titanic and the Zeppelin – sold out at super speed, Downies is delighted that our strong presence in the European numismatic market has enabled us to secure an allocation of this 5oz giant.
