| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which in March 1957 established the European Economic Community among six founding nations including West Germany. Cook Islands became a prolific producer of commemorative bullion in the 2000s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory to issue legal tender with minimal domestic circulation pressure. At 0.5 grams of five-nines fine gold, these pieces contain fractionally more pure gold than a standard .9999 issue of equivalent weight — a specification that was a minor marketing distinction at the time of issue.
