| Additional information |
Part of Cook Islands' prolific Olympic-themed commemorative program issued ahead of the 2004 Athens Games, this piece belongs to a series that flooded the collector market in the early 2000s. Cook Islands, a self-governing territory in free association with New Zealand, leveraged its minting rights extensively during this period through agreements with the Austrian Mint and various private distributors — producing volumes that have kept secondary market prices modest despite the .999 silver content.
