| Additional information |
Issued as part of Cook Islands' prolific micro-gold program, this piece commemorates Diana, Princess of Wales, nearly two decades after her death in Paris. Cook Islands has long leveraged its currency-issuing rights — a legacy of its free association with New Zealand — to produce collectible issues for the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation. The .9999 fineness at 0.311 g places this squarely in the 1/100 oz novelty tier, a format that proliferated sharply among Pacific island issuers after 2010.
