| Additional information |
Cook Islands issued a prolific run of low-denomination silver commemoratives in the early 2000s through licensing arrangements with overseas distributors — most were never intended for circulation and were sold directly into the collector market. The .500 fineness here is characteristic of that production tier, keeping silver costs down while retaining the "silver coin" marketing hook.
