[QUOTE="Mr. Numismatist, post: 26789995, member: 142588"]Hello everyone, I think I just discovered two undocumented design variations of the Cook Islands $2 Double Eagle 1/2 oz. Silver Coins (let me know if I'm not the first to notice). This issue ([URL]https://en.numista.com/175952[/URL]) was made 2019-2021. Both varieties can be seen on the 2020 & 2021 issues, but for 2019 I have only been able to find one variety which I call "Type 1". Type 2 for both 2020 and 2021 is definitely the scarcer variety. On the obverse, the most noticeable differences are: [LIST] [*] the font types (especially "E"), [*] the denticles [*] the wood grain of the bell's headstock [*] the Queen's portrait. [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]1710024[/ATTACH] On the reverse, the most notable design variations are: [LIST] [*]the font types [*]the denticles [*]the eagles' feathers [*]the relation of the lettering and the sun's rays [/LIST] [ATTACH=full]1710023[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
