| Additional information |
Issued under Cook Islands' well-established practice of licensing its monetary authority to private minting operations — primarily the New Zealand Mint — this piece belongs to a commemorative program marking the reign of George V, who ruled from 1910 until his death in January 1936. George V was the first British monarch to make regular radio broadcasts, and his 1932 Christmas address inaugurated what became an enduring royal tradition.
Gold-plated copper-nickel at this specification was the workhorse format of the Cook Islands commemorative trade dollar program throughout the 2000s, produced for collector sale rather than any circulation function.
