| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated as a prolific commemorative mint since the 1970s, issuing coins under its currency authority while relying entirely on New Zealand for actual monetary circulation. The Reagan issue belongs to a broader commemorative program targeting the collector market rather than any domestic monetary function. Reagan's 1981 tax cuts — the largest in U.S. history at the time — and his administration's Strategic Defense Initiative are among the policy events most commonly cited in associated marketing, though the coin's issuance coincides with the 25th anniversary of his leaving office.
