| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated a prolific commemorative program since the 1970s, licensing its sovereign minting rights to produce collector issues that circulate in name only. This particular dollar belongs to a series honoring British monarchs, with George IV — king from 1820 to 1830 — among the more historically contentious choices: his reign was marked by personal extravagance, the Queen Caroline affair, and a coronation that cost the equivalent of millions in today's money while his subjects faced economic depression.
