| Additional information |
The Cook Islands has operated one of the more prolific bullion and commemorative programs in the Pacific, licensing its name to private minting operations — primarily the German firm B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt — that produce high-face-value pieces with negligible practical circulation. This particular issue corresponds to the lunar year beginning January 31, 2014, part of a twelve-year series cycle that effectively functions as a 5-troy-ounce gold bullion product dressed in commemorative clothing.
Face value bears no relationship to metal content at any realistic exchange rate for the Cook Islands dollar, a currency pegged to the New Zealand dollar.
