The denomination 1 DOLLAR appears in the lower exergue in bold raised lettering. The gold-plated finish imparts a rich, lustrous appearance to the entire obverse field.

Additional information

Issued to mark the April 2011 marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, this is one of dozens of near-identical commemorative pieces produced across Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth territories alike — Cook Islands among the most prolific issuers of such material. Gold-plated copper-nickel at this weight and diameter is a format produced almost exclusively for the collector gift market, with distribution handled largely through television shopping channels and mail-order catalogues rather than numismatic dealers.
