| Additional information |
Montgomery's image on commemorative coin issues surged after the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and this Cook Islands piece is squarely a product of that wave. Cook Islands has long licensed its name to third-party minting operations — primarily the Pobjoy Mint and various European houses — producing gold-plated copper issues in bulk for the collector gift market rather than for any domestic monetary purpose.
