5 Dollars - Elizabeth II Bud Spencer and Terence Hill

Bud Spencer and Terence Hill were the working names of Carlo Pedersoli and Mario Girotti, two Italian actors whose spaghetti western and comedy partnerships across roughly two dozen films between the late 1960s and 1980s generated a following in German-speaking Europe that, by most measures, exceeded their popularity in Italy itself. Germany and Austria still air these films in heavy rotation. The Cook Islands issue exists almost entirely to serve that collector demographic — a gold miniature aimed squarely at Central European buyers nostalgic for the duo.
