| Additional information |
Issued under license from Warner Bros. as part of a broader numismatic push tied to the 2016 film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, this piece commemorates the Magical Congress of the United States of America — the fictional American wizarding authority introduced in that production. Cook Islands has been one of the most prolific issuers of licensed pop-culture coinage since the early 2000s, a revenue strategy that generates face-value obligations the government has no expectation of ever redeeming at par.
The gold plating on these issues is applied after striking, typically measuring just microns thick.
