The popular and successful Masterpieces of Art series of silver coins by Cook Islands has been replenished with a new piece of art.

The obverse of the Cook Islands coin traditionally bears the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Along the rim of the silver coin, there are the inscriptions denoting the name of the Queen, the face value of the coin and the name of the issuing country.

The reverse of this gorgeous coin is embellished with a full-color reproduction of Vermeer's painting decorated on both sides with sixteen genuine Swarovski crystals. Depicting a beautiful young girl dressed in an exotic turban that gazes at the viewer, it is one of the author’s most engaging images.

The painting was originally titled "Girl with a Turban" and it wasn't until the second half of the twentieth century that the name was changed. The upper part of the reverse contains the legend indicating the name of the series.
