| Additional information |
Cook Islands has operated a prolific licensed coinage program for decades, issuing collector pieces under its nominal sovereignty that are designed, produced, and distributed entirely outside the islands themselves — typically through European minting intermediaries. This piece belongs to a wave of Star Wars character coins produced under a Lucasfilm licensing arrangement, the franchise having been acquired by Disney in 2012 for $4.05 billion.
Silver-plated iron rather than struck silver. Worth noting for anyone cataloging by composition.
