1 Dollar - Elizabeth II Wedding Day

Issued to mark the April 2011 marriage of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, this is one of hundreds of commemorative pieces produced across Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth territories alike for the occasion — Cook Islands among the most prolific issuers of such material. The royal wedding commemorative market that year was saturated almost immediately, with many pieces retailing through television shopping channels and bulk mail-order catalogues rather than through traditional numismatic outlets.
