10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Elizabeth of Russia

Elizabeth of Russia — known as Elizaveta Petrovna — reigned from 1741 to 1762 after seizing the throne in a near-bloodless palace coup, deposing the infant Ivan VI in the middle of the night. Her reign saw the founding of Moscow University and the Winter Palace, and Russia's entry into the Seven Years' War, during which Russian forces actually occupied Berlin briefly in 1760.

Cook Islands issued an extensive series of royal portrait coins through this period under licensing arrangements that generated revenue far exceeding anything the islands' domestic economy could support.
