2024 Cook Islands .5 gram Gold $5 Griffin

Beautiful details and a silk finish adds texture to this 2024 commemorative $5 coin, struck in .5 grams of 99.99% pure gold. Displaying uneven edges, it replicates a rare and iconic Greek coin issued over 2,000 years ago for the Thracian city of Abdera: the Griffin. In Greek mythology, the Griffin was a noble half-lion, half-eagle creature that represented wisdom and strength. King Charles III appears on the obverse along with the country of origin, Cook Islands. Mintage is limited to just 5,000 pieces. This affordable, eye-catching gold coin will be a welcome addition in your collection – it makes a stunning present, too!
