Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, or Saint Valentine's Day, is a Christian celebration observed by many people around the world on February 14th, according to the Western Church. It has become a widely celebrated holiday in various societies worldwide, where lovers exchange gifts and love letters.

Mints around the world, both governmental and private, take advantage of these occasions to produce commemorative coins and currency. This year, the Cook Islands issued a silver five-dollar coin in the shape of a heart, minted from pure silver and studded with Swarovski crystals, featuring an image of two birds in love.

The piece weighs 20 grams and has a diameter of 37 mm. It is made with proofing technology and was sold for $156, but the entire quantity was sold out at the mint.
