Additional information

This coin is part of Cook Islands' long-running partnership with Japanese artisans, specifically drawing on Arita porcelain traditions originating in Saga Prefecture — where kaolin clay was first discovered on the Japanese archipelago around 1616, launching an industry that would dominate European luxury markets for over a century. The inlaid ceramic element is fired separately before being set into the silver field, a production step that introduces meaningful rejection rates and limits surviving quantities far below nominal mintage figures.
