5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Artemis

The Artemis series from Cook Islands was part of a wave of fractional gold miniatures issued in the late 2000s by Pacific island nations whose mint licensing arrangements — primarily with overseas private mints — generated revenue far exceeding any plausible local monetary need. Cook Islands has long been a vehicle for this trade, its government supplying legal tender status to products designed entirely for the collector and investor markets rather than circulation.
