| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued novelty gold-plated copper dollars under licensing arrangements since the 1970s, functioning almost entirely as collectibles with no meaningful circulation history. This piece belongs to a long run of themed issues produced for the international collector market, where the nominal face value bears no relationship to production cost or intrinsic worth.
