Description
The reverse of the coin shows the symbol chosen by the ancient city of Syracuse for its coinage. Syracuse in Sicily was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans. It grew to a very powerful city-state, was allied with Sparta and Corinth and exerted influence over the entirety of coastal areas of Southern Italy. Described by Cicero as the greatest Greek city and the most beautiful of them all, it equaled Athens in size during the fifth century BC. The octopus as a feature is probably due to the city's proximity to the sea, fishing or the brisk trading in its port. The obverse of the coin depicts the effigy of Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the inscriptions: "ELIZABETH II" – the name oft he Queen, "5 DOLLARS" – the face value, "COOK ISLANDS" – the country of issue and "2022" – the year of issue.
