2026 Cook Islands 5 Ounce Jefferson Monument UHR Antique Finish Silver Coin

This is the magnificent 5 troy ounce final issue in the successful Historical Monuments series that also features a far lower, more exclusive mintage. It pays tribute to the Jefferson Memorial, a majestic monument in Washington, D.C., built in honor of Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence.

The monument‘s classical architecture, inspired by the timeless beauty of Roman architecture, features an imposing dome and elegant columns reminiscent of the Pantheon in Rome. These venerable walls were built between 1939 and 1943, and inside them sits an imposing statue of Jefferson, surrounded by quotations from his speeches and writings – a powerful symbol of his vision of democracy, freedom, and human rights.
