5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Abraham Lincoln

This piece belongs to a sprawling series of colorized silver issues produced for Cook Islands by the European medal and coin trade — primarily Austrian and Polish private mints working on licensing arrangements. Cook Islands has no meaningful domestic coin production and issues face values bearing no relation to its actual currency in circulation. The Lincoln subject here is purely a collector confection, timed loosely around ongoing American commemorative interest rather than any specific anniversary of Lincoln's birth, presidency, or assassination.
