Additional information

Cook Islands issued a substantial run of commemorative silver dollars through the late 1990s and early 2000s under licensing arrangements that had little to do with local monetary need — these pieces were produced almost entirely for the collector export market. This particular issue marks Sweden's runner-up finish at the 1958 FIFA World Cup, held on Swedish soil, where the host nation reached the final before losing 5–2 to a Brazilian side that included a seventeen-year-old Pelé playing in his first World Cup tournament.
