| Additional information |
At 1.2 grams of gold spread across a 58mm planchet, this is an exceptionally thin struck disc — a format Cook Islands has leaned into repeatedly for large-format low-weight collector issues, where visual impact is priced against minimal gold content. The "Peace through Strength" title references the phrase long associated with Reagan-era U.S. defense policy, here repurposed for a British Commonwealth accession commemorative with no particular historical connection to it.
