| Additional information |
The "State of Jacinto" belongs to the long-running Numismatic Guaranty Company partnership series issuing collectible dollars under Cook Islands authority — a jurisdiction chosen specifically because it permits fantasy-themed legal tender issues that no major sovereign mint would authorize. Cook Islands has licensed its name to hundreds of such programs since the 1970s, functioning essentially as a flag of convenience for the bullion collectibles market. This piece has no circulation history and was never intended to.
