10 Dollars - Elizabeth II Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge appears on this Cook Islands issue as part of a broader series of world landmark coins that proliferated in the mid-2000s, when numerous Pacific island territories leveraged their minting rights to produce collector silver with no connection to local commerce. Cook Islands has issued legal tender coinage under New Zealand's constitutional arrangements since 1972, but pieces like this were sold exclusively through numismatic distributors and never circulated.

KM#588 sits in a crowded field of similar issues from this period.
