10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Glacier Bay

Glacier Bay National Park was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, five years before this coin was struck — part of a broader Cook Islands program capitalizing on growing international conservation awareness throughout the 1990s. Cook Islands had by this point established itself as one of the most prolific issuers of thematic commemorative silver in the Pacific, producing dozens of environmental and wildlife subjects annually for the collector market rather than circulation.
