| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a broader wave of large-format silver issues produced by the Cook Islands around 2010–2014, most of them struck by the Bavarian State Mint or B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt on contract — the Cook Islands maintaining no mint of its own. The $10 denomination was a favored vehicle for this kind of collector-market bullion-plus-art hybrid, underwritten entirely by secondary market demand rather than any domestic monetary need.
The Aztec theme places it in a crowded field. KM#1514 is cataloged but mintage data for individual releases in this series is inconsistently recorded across references.
