| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative silver dollars under its own authority since the 1970s, though the territory's monetary relationship with New Zealand means these pieces were never intended for circulation. The "Yours Always" series belongs to a wave of themed romantic issues produced for the gift market in the early 2010s, a period when several Pacific island mints aggressively expanded into collector and novelty coinage to generate government revenue.
