| Additional information |
The Stanley is the capital and principal port of the Falkland Islands, and its name carries the full weight of the 1982 conflict — the town changed hands twice during the war, with Argentine forces occupying it from April until British forces retook it in June. Cook Islands has built a substantial business issuing commemorative silver for third-party subjects, operating under licensing arrangements that have no geographic or political connection to the depicted subject.
Elizabeth II died in September 2022, making this a posthumous issue — struck under her effigy by a territory she never visited, commemorating a settlement she never governed.
