| Additional information |
Cook Islands has issued commemorative gold in volume since the 1970s, much of it targeting the collector market with little connection to the islands themselves. Sari Multala — the Finnish canoeist who won gold at the 2006 European Championships — has no obvious tie to the Cook Islands, and her appearance here reflects the territory's long-standing practice of licensing athlete likenesses for third-party collector coins with nominal Pacific island authority behind them.
