Detailed description
St. Peter's Basilica - 100 g
A unique gold coin issued by the Cook Islands in 2016 in 99.9% gold purity and weighing 100 g is dedicated to the famous St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.
The reverse of the coin depicts the precisely crafted dome of St. Peter's Basilica. The motif is created in four parts at different depths, using an innovative coinage technique that creates a perfect three-dimensional effect. The motif is complemented by the inscription "ST. PETERS'S BASILICA" and the year of issue "2016".
St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, also known as St. Peter's Cathedral or Vatican Basilica, is one of Rome's four papal basilicas and, at 211.5 metres in length, one of the largest churches in the world. The dome itself rises to a height of 136.57 m and its inner diameter is also an impressive 42.56 m. Construction of the dome was begun by the famous Michelangelo Buonarroti in the mid-16th century and completed in 1590 by Domenico Fontana.
The face depicts a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian-Rank Broadley, surrounded by the inscriptions "ELIZABETH II", "COOK ISLANDS", the artist's initials "IRB" and the denomination "100 DOLLARS".
The coin comes in its original book-style gift box, along with a numbered certificate of authenticity in an extremely limited edition of only 49 pieces for the entire world!
