The photographer's credit Bernard Hollywood™ appears in script within the image, the date 2013 is inscribed to the lower right of the field, and the name GREGORY PECK is lettered in the lower exergue.

Additional information

Gregory Peck's inclusion in this Cook Islands celebrity series traces back to no particular monetary or political rationale — the islands have issued licensed commemorative silver for decades under arrangements that funnel revenue to the territory while the coins themselves circulate nowhere. Peck died in 2003, so this appeared a decade after his death, timed to nothing in particular.
