| Additional information |
A 0.2g gold coin at 34mm diameter is an unusual ratio — the planchet is exceptionally thin, a format associated with the "mini gold" novelty issues that have proliferated among Pacific Island sovereign minting programs since the 2010s. Cook Islands maintains a longstanding arrangement with overseas private mints to produce legal tender collector issues under its authority, with no expectation of circulation.
