    Pure Silver coin issue dedicated to the world's most popular handwork, the Murrine Millefiori of Murano in Italy. Each coin is unique, the glass rods are handmade, cured and then cut into discs. After that the individual multicolored glass discs are placed into a mold, heated gently and slowly melted. A new coin concept for collectable masterpieces. Limited mintage of 999 pcs.
    The coin's reverse features a heart shaped Murrine Millefiori of Murano. On the center of the reverse, around the heart shape, the inscriptions: "MURRINE MILLEFIORI" – the name of the coin, "GLASS ART" – the name of the series and "2017" – the year of issue. The obverse of the coin depicts Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name of the Queen, "5 DOLLARS" – the face value and "COOK ISLANDS" – the issue country.
    The exceptionally popular Murrine Millefiori set comes to a close in 2017 with the third and final issue of this award-winning series.
    True to the series’ character, the 2017 coin features a murrine millefiori glass ring and a corresponding heart at the center of the coin. This year the ornaments are set on a lush green background resembling a lively wildflower meadow. The handmade murrine technique once again results in each of the 999 coins to be unique in flower detail and arrangement. Specifications have remained unchanged since the first issue that snatched up the People’s Choice Award at Coin Constellation 2016.
    Surely the new coin will be cherished by the numerous fans of the first two issues and complete a beautiful and concise three-coin set that stands out in the world of modern numismatics.
