| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative dollars prolifically since the 1970s, and this piece belongs to the wave of royal anniversary issues that flooded the market in the 2000s. Elizabeth and Philip married on 20 November 1947 at Westminster Abbey — Philip having renounced his Greek and Danish royal titles and adopted the surname Mountbatten days before the ceremony.
The copper-nickel specification mirrors the standard used across dozens of simultaneous Cook Islands issues, most struck by outside minting contractors with minimal connection to the islands themselves.
