| Additional information |
Issued three years after the tenth anniversary of Diana's death, this piece belongs to a wave of commemorative issues from Cook Islands that leveraged the territory's licensing agreements to produce high-volume, low-cost collectibles aimed squarely at the retail gift market rather than serious numismatists. Gold-plated copper-nickel at this weight and diameter was the standard vehicle for that trade throughout the 2000s.
