25 Dollars - Elizabeth II Year of the Rabbit

Cook Islands has issued lunar series coinage under its name since the 1990s, though the pieces are entirely produced and marketed by external minting operations — the islands themselves have no functioning mint. The 2011 Rabbit issue falls within the Chinese lunar calendar cycle, targeting collector demand in Southeast Asian markets where rabbit years carry particular cultural significance around family and prosperity.

The .9999 fineness places it above the traditional .9167 gold coin standard, a deliberate spec choice that became common in bullion-adjacent collector pieces from this period to compete directly with Canadian Maple Leaf purity standards.
