| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of a broad commemorative program Cook Islands issued through the late 2000s marking the 90th anniversary of World War I's end, this piece focuses specifically on the Middle Eastern theater — Gallipoli, the Sinai, Palestine — campaigns that tend to be overshadowed in mainstream WWI numismatic commemoratives by the Western Front. New Zealand and Australian forces bore a disproportionate share of the fighting in that region, which gives a Cook Islands issue addressing it a certain geographic logic, however nominal the island's connection to those events.
