| Additional information |
Cook Islands issued a succession of small-denomination platinum "Love Angel" pieces through the 1990s as collector bullion items, marketed primarily into the Japanese gift trade during that market's prolonged appetite for novelty precious-metal issues. The bubble collapse of the early 1990s barely slowed demand for this specific niche — sentimental platinum pieces remained a reliable export category well after broader Japanese luxury spending contracted.
