| Additional information |
Part of a wave of novelty legal-tender issues licensed through the Cook Islands government — a Pacific nation that has long leased its minting authority to foreign producers, primarily in Poland and Germany, generating revenue with no expectation of domestic circulation. This piece belongs to that category entirely: a collectible manufactured for the international souvenir market, with Cook Islands nominal authorization providing the legal-tender fiction.
