5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Birth of Prince George

Prince George was born July 22, 2013, and the commemorative coin market responded almost immediately — Cook Islands, a frequent vehicle for Pacific rim commemorative issues licensed through foreign minting operations, was among the first issuers to market. These pieces were produced under the Cook Islands' longstanding arrangement allowing third-party mint houses to issue coins in its name, a practice that generates revenue for the island territory while bearing little connection to its domestic economy.
