| Additional information |
This piece was issued under the arrangement Cook Islands maintained through the 1990s with the Franklin Mint and various licensors, producing a flood of commemorative gold and silver coinage with little connection to actual circulation. The Disney licensing deal that permitted Mickey Mouse's appearance on legal tender was commercially driven — Cook Islands derived revenue from the numismatic market, not from monetary use.
KM#300 sits in a crowded field of similar Cook Islands Disney issues from this period, most produced in small, controlled mintages aimed directly at collector packaging programs.
