| Additional information |
Issued in 2011 to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II's accession — the 60th anniversary of her taking the throne in February 1952 — this Cook Islands piece belongs to a well-saturated segment of the commemorative market that flooded collector channels in the lead-up to 2012. Cook Islands has long maintained a licensing arrangement that allows it to produce bullion and commemorative coinage well beyond any domestic monetary need, with the vast majority of output destined directly for overseas collector markets rather than circulation.
