20 Dollars - Elizabeth II Starry Night

Van Gogh's The Starry Night entered the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941, acquired from a dealer rather than directly from any estate — a provenance path that kept its price artificially low at the time. Cook Islands has issued numerous high-relief and printed silver pieces under licensing arrangements that allow it to commercialize imagery its own treasury would never otherwise control. This is one of those issues: a numismatic product sold primarily to collectors outside the Pacific, with Cook Islands functioning essentially as a licensing vehicle.
