| Additional information |
Gary Robson is a New Zealand artist known for his highly detailed wildlife paintings, and Cook Islands licensed his work for a series of nature-themed collector issues in the early 2010s. These silver-plated copper pieces were produced for the souvenir and collector market rather than circulation — Cook Islands has a long-established practice of issuing such commemoratives under agreements with foreign minting firms, a revenue stream the islands have relied on since the 1970s.
