| Additional information |
One of several fractional gold issues produced under Cook Islands' longstanding licensing arrangement with Warner Bros., this piece belongs to a collector-targeted series rather than any circulating monetary program. Cook Islands has issued commemorative coinage of this type since the 1970s, leveraging its status as a New Zealand realm territory to authorize legal tender issues that are designed entirely for the numismatic market. The 0.5g format places it among the smallest gold coins commercially produced, a size made viable only by modern precision minting technology.
