The 3 oz Silver Burst coin, produced by CIT Coin Invest for the Cook Islands and issued in 2022, is part of a series of three coins designed to embrace the idea of beauty in destruction.
In this edition, the coin shows how fragile and amazing the human body is. Smartminting® technology was used to create imagery that interprets in a modern and abstract way how much the human vessel can accommodate in terms of information, opinions, images and news before it falls apart.
The effect of a bursting body is depicted through a stunning combination of proof areas and ultra high relief elements, with areas of the body appearing to shatter like glass.
