| Additional information |
The "Double Liberty" design references the Statue of Liberty's lesser-known twin — the 1878 Bartholdi proposal that depicted Liberty facing right, rejected in favor of the familiar left-facing figure. Cook Islands has operated as a prolific bullion and collector-coin issuer since the 1970s, leveraging its New Zealand-affiliated sovereignty to produce issues that circulate legally but are manufactured entirely for the numismatic export market.
At 15.5 g, this sits at the half-troy-ounce mark — a format that gained traction in the fractional silver market after the 2008 financial crisis drove smaller-denomination silver purchases.
