| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars prolifically since the 1970s, and this piece falls squarely within that pattern — a .500 fine silver issue produced for the collector market rather than circulation. The 2001 date places it outside any World Cup year, a common practice among small-territory issuers who license sporting themes independently of FIFA's own official program.
The years in the title reference World Cup tournaments won by England (1966 and misread nostalgia), Brazil, and Germany — the specific combination suggesting a thematic series rather than a single-nation tribute.
