Cook Islands marked the Queen's Golden Jubilee with a commemorative dollar timed to the fiftieth anniversary of her February 1952 accession — an event that itself occurred while Elizabeth was in Kenya, whereupon she returned to Britain as monarch without ever having left Commonwealth soil. Cook Islands, a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, has issued commemorative coinage since 1972 largely as a revenue mechanism, and the 2002 Jubilee series was no exception, targeting collector markets rather than circulation.
