| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II, depicted with an elaborate coiffure adorned with a pearl drop earring and a beaded necklace, rendered in high relief against a plain field. The portrait is engraved in a refined, detailed style characteristic of small-format commemorative gold issues. The legend ELIZABETH II and 1 DOLLAR COOK ISLANDS arcs around the upper periphery, while the inscription 1/2 g. 99999 FINEST GOLD curves along the lower portion of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cook Islands issued a wave of small-format gold devotional pieces in the mid-2000s, many tied to papal events and sold primarily to Catholic collectors in Europe. This piece commemorates Benedict XVI's visit to Bavaria in September 2006 — his first papal trip to his homeland after his election the previous year. The homecoming drew enormous crowds to Munich, Altötting, and Regensburg, though the visit is better remembered for the Regensburg lecture controversy that erupted midway through the trip.
