The "Quintuple Eagle" branding here is essentially a marketing conceit — Cook Islands has long been a vehicle for novelty bullion and collector issues licensed through external mints, with the island's monetary authority lending its name to products designed entirely for the international collector market. At 0.2 grams of .9999 gold, this piece contains less than half the gold of a single U.S. Lincoln cent's weight in copper.
