| Beschrijving keerzijde | A magnificently rendered gryphon — the mythological creature combining the body of a lion with the head, talons, and wings of an eagle — is depicted seated in profile facing left, its great wings raised and spread in high relief at the centre of the field. The beast is executed with exceptional sculptural detail, with individual feathers meticulously delineated across the wings, chest, and haunches. To the sinister field, the abbreviated mint mark 'CI' (Cook Islands) appears in raised Latin capitals above a small cicada privy mark. The irregular, antiqued flan edge reinforces the ancient coin aesthetic of the piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Gryphon is the second release in Cook Islands' "King's Beasts" bullion series, which mirrors the logic of the Royal Mint's Queen's Beasts program but reframes the heraldic roster around armorial supporters associated specifically with Charles III's lineage. Cook Islands has served as a vehicle for New Zealand-marketed legal tender bullion since the 1990s, with face values assigned largely as a licensing formality — no $250 coin has ever been tendered in Rarotonga.
