| Aanvullende informatie |
Cook Islands issues commemoratives prolifically — hundreds of themes a year — but this piece has a legitimate nominal connection: the islands bear Cook's name following his first Pacific voyage of 1768–71 aboard HMS Endeavour, during which he charted New Zealand's coastline with a precision that astonished European cartographers. His 1770 landfall on the Australian east coast at Botany Bay followed directly from that same expedition.
The KM#2675 attribution places it within the vast New Zealand Mint-produced series for the Cook Islands government, whose coin program functions primarily as a licensing revenue stream rather than a circulating currency.
