| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to commemorate the total solar eclipse of August 11, 1999 — the last total eclipse visible across Europe in the twentieth century, tracking from Cornwall across France, Germany, and Romania before crossing Turkey and India. Cook Islands produced a wave of small-denomination gold issues through the late 1990s, many struck by the Pobjoy Mint, capitalizing on the commemorative market rather than any domestic monetary need.
