The Legend of El Dorado, The Mythical City of Gold – 2022 $20 Cook Islands Three-Ounce Fine Silver Coin

This fascinating large three-ounce fine silver coin issued by Cook Islands in 2022 tells the story of El Dorado, a fabled city of gold said to possess unimaginable wealth and treasures beyond belief. Although El Dorado has never been found, its allure continues to captivate the world and adds to Colombia's rich history and mystique. The coin combines an antique finish with selective gold plating to create the feel of an era gone by, and adds it own rarity with a mintage of just 777 coins.

The story of El Dorado is in many ways similar to the lost island of Atlantis. It is a place often spoken of in folklore and legends, and has captured the imagination of explorers, adventurers and dreamers for centuries, but it has never been found. It has been said that deep within the heart of Colombia's lush landscapes and dense jungles lies a city called El Dorado, filled with gold and untold riches. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Colombia during the 16th century, they heard tales of El Dorado and became obsessed with finding this mythical city. Led by adventurers such as Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada and his expedition, the Europeans embarked on arduous journeys deep into the uncharted territories of Colombia in search of the fabled city.

While El Dorado has never been discovered as an actual city of gold, its symbolism and legacy endure. El Dorado represents not only the pursuit of material wealth, but also the human desire for the unattainable and the eternal quest for something greater. It embodies the allure of adventure, the exploration of the unknown and the drive to uncover the secrets hidden within the depths of the earth.
