| Additional information |
Part of a Cook Islands wildlife miniature gold series that leaned heavily on the novelty market of the early 2000s, these fractional pieces were produced by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of the Cook Islands government, which has long issued commemorative coinage with no meaningful domestic circulation. The Robin depicted is the European robin, not a species native to the Pacific — a choice driven entirely by collector appeal to British and continental European buyers.
