| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars prolifically since the 1970s, and by 2003 the market for royal jubilee coinage was well-established and competitive. This piece marks the fiftieth anniversary of Elizabeth II's coronation on 2 June 1953 — the ceremony itself was the first British coronation broadcast on television, watched by an estimated 27 million viewers in the UK alone despite relatively low television ownership at the time.
