25 Cents - Elizabeth II Wampa Cave

Issued under Cook Islands' long-running licensing arrangement that has made the territory one of the most prolific novelty coin issuers in the Pacific, this piece is part of a broader Star Wars-themed series released through collector channels rather than any circulation mandate. Cook Islands holds legal authority to issue its own currency but maintains the New Zealand dollar in everyday use, making the distinction between "coin" and "medallion" here largely academic.

Iron core with silver plating keeps production costs low — a deliberate choice for a mass-market collectible series where numismatic integrity is secondary to licensing revenue.
