| Additional information |
The Cook Islands has operated one of the Pacific's most prolific numismatic programs since the 1970s, issuing collector coinage well in excess of what its roughly 15,000-person population could ever require domestically. This 155.5-gram piece — a five-troy-ounce format popular with bullion-adjacent commemoratives of the mid-2000s — was produced for the Chinese lunar calendar market, which by 2005 had become a significant revenue stream for small-nation minting programs worldwide.
The rooster year fell in 2005, the 4703rd year by traditional Chinese reckoning.
