| Additional information |
Part of a Cook Islands series exploiting the country's liberal licensing agreements with foreign mints — in this case almost certainly produced by a European private mint rather than any facility with ties to the Cook Islands themselves. The territory has issued collectible gold in fractional weights like this since the 1990s primarily as a vehicle for the international bullion gift market, with nominal face values that bear no relationship to their metal content or local circulation.
Gimli is a dwarf lord from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. Use of the character requires licensing from the Tolkien Estate or its assignees.
