The coin is struck from pure silver in proof quality and is distinguished by its high-quality craftsmanship, substantial weight of three ounces of silver, and a limited mintage of only 1,000 pieces. The exclusive nature of the issue is emphasized by decorative Swarovski crystals and the elegant design typical of the most prestigious Cook Islands collector coins from the late 2000s. The coin is popular among both collectors of modern numismatics and enthusiasts of Renaissance painting, as well as those interested in limited-edition silver coins with a distinct artistic and collectible character.

Swarovski crystals serve as an additional decorative element, emphasizing the exclusive nature of the issue.
The coin’s surface features a proof finish, combining a mirror-like background with matte relief details, which lends the design depth and an elegant contrast. The large three-ounce silver format allowed for a highly detailed rendering of the artistic motifs and gave the entire issue a prestigious appearance. The obverse features a classic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II along with the issuer’s mark, denomination, and year of issue. The coin is exceptionally elegant and represents an example of high-quality modern numismatics inspired by global Renaissance painting.
This edition draws inspiration from one of the most famous works in the history of world art—the fresco by Leonardo da Vinci, created in the late 15th century in the refectory of the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery in Milan. The work depicts the biblical scene of Christ’s Last Supper with the apostles before his crucifixion and has been regarded for centuries as one of the greatest achievements of the Italian Renaissance.
Leonardo da Vinci created a composition that revolutionized the way emotions and relationships between figures were depicted in European painting. The painting is distinguished by the scene’s exceptional dynamism, the realistic portrayal of the apostles’ reactions, and the innovative use of perspective. "The Last Supper" has become one of the most important symbols of Western culture and one of the most recognizable works of religious art in the world.
The Masterpieces of Art series, from which this coin originates, was created as a tribute to the most outstanding works of world painting and European cultural heritage. The coins in this series combine art, history, and modern numismatic collecting, serving as a reminder of the significance of classical masterpieces for the development of culture and civilization. As a result, the coin is not only an attractive collector’s item but also a unique tribute to one of the most important works of the Renaissance.
