| Additional information |
Issued under Cook Islands' long-standing arrangement as a New Zealand realm territory, which grants it the right to produce legal tender coinage while holding no independent monetary system of its own. The arrangement has made Cook Islands one of the more prolific sources of commemorative silver issues since the 1970s, with output bearing the effigy of the British monarch despite no practical domestic circulation.
