LEGENDS – WILD WEST: 2024 Cook Islands 3oz proof silver coin
In the 4th edition of the Legends series, we venture into the untamed Wild West. Amidst this captivating chapter in history, three individuals stand out.
Wild Bill Hickok, the legendary gunslinger and gambler, was hailed as one of the early heroes of the West. Also renowned for his charm, persistent rumours suggest an intimate connection with the notorious yet enigmatic frontierswoman, Calamity Jane.
According to legend, Wild Bill met his end at a poker table in Saloon 10 in Deadwood. The hand he held at the time of his murder forever etched in history as the Dead Man’s Hand. Billy the Kid, depicted in the center, became infamous as both a gunslinger and cattle rustler. His brief yet eventful life included at least
nine murders and a daring prison escape.
Furthermore, the coin is endowed with a variety of special features. On the reverse, the ‘Dead Man’s Hand’, the saloon’s name and the bullet of the gun that sent Wild Bill to the afterlife are depicted next to the three heroes. Depending on the specification, the number of dots on the dice varies, while on the obverse the coat of arms is tilted and curved to the outside,
integrated in the sheriff’s star.
